The Art of Pairing: Super Tuscan
Super Tuscan (Merlot) is shaped by dark berry richness, silky tannins, and unmistakable Tuscan boldness.

Grilled & Roasted Meats

This is where the Super Tuscan truly shines. Its ripe plum notes and soft tannins embrace char and richness with ease.
Perfect with:
– Bistecca alla Fiorentina
– Roasted pork loin
– Grilled lamb chops
– Herb-crusted beef tenderloin

Aged Cheeses & Charcuterie

Velvety tannins meet salt and fat for a rounded, savory match.
Perfect with:
– Aged Pecorino
– Salumi and cured meats
– Prosciutto crudo
– Soft, ripened cheeses

Earthy & Umami-Rich Dishes

Its dark berry depth and soft spice complement earthy, savory flavors beautifully.
Perfect with:
– Truffle pasta
– Mushroom risotto
– Roasted root vegetables
– Porcini-based sauces

Rich Tomato & Braised Dishes

The wine's fruit-forward character balances tomato acidity while its body stands up to slow-cooked richness.
Perfect with:
– Braised short ribs
– Slow-cooked ragù
– Lasagna al forno
– Osso buco

Luigi says

Serve at 16–18°C. Decant for 45–60 minutes before serving to let the ripe plum and dark berry notes open up fully. Like its Chianti Classico counterparts, this Super Tuscan gains depth and refinement with a little air, revealing the hands-on character of the winery in every glass.
