When we talk about Super Tuscan, we refer to unique wines that are strictly Tuscan, with an enveloping flavor and undisputed value. The best labels that have made the history of the Supertuscans are available on the Enoteca Properzio website.

Among the unmissable, we find Ornellaia 2010 special edition 25 years Pistoletto of the Marchesi de' Frescobaldi winery: in a three liter bottle to pay homage to the winery created with the collaboration of the master Michelangelo Pistoletto. A masterpiece where art and wine merge, giving rise to an unrepeatable label of a limited edition with the bottles signed and numbered.

Of an intense ruby red color, remarkably complex to the nose, and with silky tannins, this wine is very refined to the palate. Its profound taste is enhanced by combining with typical Tuscan stews or game.

A curiosity: the 2010 harvest was among the best in recent years.

Super Tuscan: ideal wines to taste with red meats and game

In the ranking of the best Super Tuscans we certainly also find Sassicaia, and specifically Tenuta San Guido of 1985, particularly dense and full-bodied, characterized by a purple color and a bouquet with aromas of cedar and truffle, as well as cassis, raspberry, blackberry and tar.

From sweet tannins where the finish lasts for over a minute, Robert Parker has decreed this to be his favorite wine.

L'Essenza Harvest by artist Ernesto Neto Tenuta dell'Ornellaia of 2014 is also available in our online wine shop. To mark the occasion of the 9th edition of the Vendemmia d'Artista project, Ernesto Neto has interpreted the character "L'Essenza", personalizing a limited series of bottles. The well-known Brazilian artist has resorted to the intersecting of the mesh with which he covered the bottles to express the natural balance of contemporary societies.

Finally, in this category Solaia Marchesi Antinori of 1998 could not be missing: a fine wine with a strong character which is appreciated by the palate above all for its evident and harmonious notes of vanilla and chocolate.
