While many Super Tuscans may indeed be big, full-bodied, and powerful, they are not a band of Italian super-heroes dressed up in capes, flying faster than a speeding bullet over the Tuscan landscape, stomping out evil wherever they go. The term 'Super Tuscan' is an unofficial name given to a special group of Italian wines made in the beautiful and historic wine region of Tuscany.
'Super Tuscans' only started to garner massive attention in the 1970s after Sassicaia and Tignanello first burst onto the market. These two wines are still important Super Tuscan names, but they have been joined by a number of other high quality wines made by like-minded producers.
Italian Wine Laws
Italian wine laws were put into place in the 1960s and were modelled after the French AOC system. There are 4 levels of wine in Italy, although recent European Union laws may mean a change (for the purposes of this article we will stick with the old system). Italian wines can be categorized as Vino da Tavola at the lowest level, then IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica, introduced in 1992), followed by the highest quality levels of DOC (denominazione di origine controllata), and DOCG (denominazione di origine controllata guarantita).
