What's So Super About Super Tuscan Wines?

This week I'm breaking down what exactly makes a wine a "Super Tuscan", the rebellious history behind it, and why you want to explore this category of wines. You'll learn about the specific grapes used in the Super Tuscan blends and what makes them so special for wine lovers. We'll share some of our favorite Super Tuscans from Italy and explore what makes them so unique and how those wines led me to make my own Super Tuscan Inspired Blend in California. Plus, I’m super excited to introduce my mom, who’s giving her first-ever wine review on the podcast!Links and Resources:My favorite splurge Super Tuscans from Italy:Find Antinori Tignanello HereFind Ornellia HereFind Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia HereA great Value Priced Super Tuscan- La Volte- under $40!Nikki's Links:Follow me on Instagram to get the scoop on upcoming episodes My Super Tuscan Inspired Blend, Sollevato "Fortunato" is available to be shipped to most US States.
