🗺️ The France Wine Map: https://www.winemakersshow.com/shop/carte-vins-france 🎓 Learn wine, join the academy: https://academy.winemakersshow.com In 1968, an Italian marquis with a passion for Bordeaux and racehorses released a wine the Italian wine authorities called "table wine »: the lowest classification possible. Ten years later, in a blind tasting in London, that same "table wine" beat some of the most expensive Bordeaux on Earth. This is the story of the Super Tuscans: the rebel wines that broke Italian wine law, made a swamp on the Tuscan coast world-famous, and forced Italy to rewrite its own rules. Featuring Sassicaia, Tignanello, Ornellaia, Solaia, Masseto, and the men who made them. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📚CHAPTERS 📚 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 Introduction 01:23 The rebellion of Tuscan wines 03:09 A Marquis with a Bordeaux obsession 05:43 Tignanello: the rebellion enters Chianti 08:03 The 1978 blind tasting that changed everything for Tuscan wines 09:20 The origin of Super Tuscan name 10:26 Bolgheri becomes Italy’s Bordeaux 12:40 Italy admits defeat: IGT Tuscana, Bolgheri DOC and DOC Sassicaia 14:19 How to read a Super Tuscan wine label 16:15 Is the term Super Tuscan still relevant today? ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⭐️ ABOUT ⭐️ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ My name is Antoine, and I’ve been passionate about wine for several years.
