Supertuscan del Chanti - The wines that revolutionized Tuscany

In addition to being the place of production of the excellent wines distinguished by the "Gallo Nero", Chianti is also the home of some labels that have made the history of Italian wine, the so-called "Supertuscan" .

In the seventies, since the disciplinary of the Consortium imposed the use of white grapes and excluded both the vinification of Sangiovese in purity, and the use of international vines for the production of Chianti Classico, some producers decided to bottle their best wines without denomination, as simple table wines despite the fact that they were labels of great value, which would soon revolutionize the Tuscan wine world. The first of these, subsequently nicknamed "Supertuscan" by international critics to underline their exceptional character , were the Vigorello di San Felice (1968), at the time a pure Sangiovese, and the Tignanello by Marchesi Antinori (1970).
