July Wine Tasting: Super Tuscans

As summer settles across Tuscany, the wines of the Super Tuscan category showcase the region’s remarkable ability to honor tradition while embracing innovation.

Born from a desire to challenge convention, these pioneering wines emerged when ambitious producers looked beyond traditional regulations, blending Sangiovese with international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc.

In this guided tasting, we’ll explore the history, evolution, and enduring influence of Super Tuscans through a selection of distinctive wines that showcase the diversity of the category. Guests will discover layered expressions of dark fruit, Mediterranean herbs, baking spice, cedar, and earth, while gaining insight into the vineyards, producers, and philosophies that helped shape this modern Italian icon.

Guided by Yolan’s passionate wine team, this tasting is part of our monthly wine and spirits series exploring the remarkable regions, traditions, and innovations that continue to define the world of wine.
