Super Tuscans

Super Tuscans | WineDeals.com

The term "Super Tuscan" is used to describe wines from Tuscany that were augmented, or even entirely made from non-indigenous Italian grapes. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and even Syrah and Cabernet Franc became stars in the warmth of Tuscan vineyards.

The other thing "super" about our featured wines is the quality in a category where wines can easily command three-figure price-points. These you will find much more wallet-friendly. As the weather turns cooler these wines will ideally pair with roasts, steaks, hearty bolognese and "Sunday sauce."

2019 / 750 ml.

Item #: 96989

JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Monday, July 5, 2021
Dark berries with walnuts, hazelnuts and white pepper on the nose, following through to a full body with ultra-fine tannins and a chewy yet refined finish. Needs two or three years to come together. Drink after 2023.
SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Mar 31, 2022
Vibrant yet silky, boasting black cherry, blackberry, violet and iron flavors. The iron fist emerges by way of the firm tannins, and this finishes with a long aftertaste of fruit and dried herbs. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Sangiovese. Drink now through 2030. 7,920 cases made.
VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2022
The zesty 2019 Non Confunditur wafts up with a darkly alluring yet also wonderfully fresh bouquet, as blackberries and currants give way to rubbed sage and crushed ashen stone. This is silky-smooth and soothing, casting a polished display of black and red berries across the palate, as mineral-driven tension forms toward the close. Sweet tannins create a sensation of youthful poise, yet they don’t get in the way of the primary fruits that saturate throughout the long finish. Non Confunditur is refined in second and third-pass barriques and tonneaux, and it is composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon along with 20% Merlot and 10% Sangiovese.

Item #: 98113

JS9393 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Monday, July 4, 2022
A linear and vivd red with black-cherry and orange-peel aromas and flavors. Fresh flowers, too. Medium to full body, chewy tannins and a bright finish. Give it a year or two, but already very pretty. Drink or hold.
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Jul 2022
Here’s a quality, easy-to-drink blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The 2020 Bolgheri Rosso Varvàra is integrated and smooth with no rough spots. Black fruit, pressed rose, earth and spice are carefully woven together. All elements are in place, and the wine is available at a very attractive price point. (Monica Larner)
