In this video we’ll learn about what a Super Tuscan wine is (it’s a Tuscan wine made by blending non-traditional Tuscan grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon) and how they took the Italian wine scene by storm. You’ll learn their history, plus how to identify these “named wines” in the marketplace.
We’re thankful to Banfi, for helping support Wine Folly content! Thank you!
Notes on Italian wine pronunciation:

If you’re looking for something new and exciting from California wines, then Paso Robles is worth digging into. One reason for this is its unique soils.
You'll find calcareous and limestone soils in Paso Robles because it's one of the few US wine regions sitting on the Pacific Plate (a totally different plate than the rest of North America).
The combination of the soils and unique weather patterns in Paso Robles make it possible to ripen certain varieties optimally. And you'll find incredibly rich-yet-balanced wines because of these conditions.
Since the creation of the 11 Sub-AVAs we can find unique features in each area and this is great for certain wines to thrive. This is very useful when seeking great quality.
