Opportunity to educate customers on the story and traditional blend of SuperTuscan.\nApproachable introduction into the varietal Cabernet Sauvignon.\n\n- Super Tuscans are a category of wine from\u2014you guessed it\u2014Tuscany, Italy. The term \u201csuper Tuscan,\u201d was made popular in the 1980s. The term merely indicates a red wine from Tuscany; however, the grapes used to make the wine do not need to be native to Italy. The earliest known super Tuscan wine dates to 1971 and was made by Antinori. This innovation stemmed from Italian winemakers having the desire to develop a wine outside the Italian wine regulations, known as Denominazione d\u2019Origine Controllata.\n\n- Terroir: The Texas High Plains, known for its elevation and well-drained sandy loam soils, provides ideal growing conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. The high altitude allows for cooler nighttime temperatures, preserving acidity and extending the growing season, leading to wines with depth and concentration.\n\n","workshop-notes":"\n","aroma-intensity":"Medium","aromas-oakaging":"Baking Spices,Oak","aromas-redfruit":null,"color-intensity":"Deep","percent-alcohol":"14.5%","about-the-region":null,"aromas-microbial":null,"aromas-treefruit":null,"vacation-pairing":"Mountain retreat in the Rockies,Big city excursion,Staycation at a trendy local hotel,Texas Safari at The Triple R Ranch,Family lake house fun","aroma-description":"Bold aromas of black currant, black plum, eucalyptus, leather, and warming spice.","aromas-blackfruit":"Blackcurrant,Black Cherry,Black Plum","aromas-driedfruit":"Prune","percent-varietals":"80.6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19.4% Sangiovese","food-pairing-notes":"Meatball with red Italian sauce, brisket, BBQ wings, salted dark chocolate or caramel, grilled steak, aged cheddar\n\nWinemaker notes: This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, smoked short ribs, or a rich tomato-based pasta like wild boar pappardelle.
