Winexpert LE14 - Super Tuscan - Italy

Product Description

Please Note These Wine Kits Are Reserve Only. Expected Release Date Is June 2015 Super Tuscans are proof that winemakers are also rebels in their own right. In the appellation of Chianti, where rules limited winemakers to certain grape varietals & practices in order to warrant official status, in the 1970s a few winemakers decided to break the rules & make wines that they decided were of superior quality, & disregarded the limitations. Coined Super Tuscan, this full-bodied wine consists of Cabernet Sauvignon & the native Sangiovese, & has firm tannins, notes of cherry & currant & a long finish. Italy is the land of food & wine, so naturally these wines are a perfect match with food. Try spaghetti Bolognese, osso buco or a big wedge of asiago cheese.
