Sharing approachable wine tips, travel experiences, and bottles worth opening.

In summary, Super Tuscan is a style of wine that was created to give Italian winemakers more freedom to experiment outside of traditional wine laws, including the use of non-native grape varieties. At first, these wines were not officially recognized within Italy’s classification system, but due to their popularity and growing reputation, they eventually became part of the IGT designation.

After a month of working at the winery, I've had some of the best days and have laughed so much, but I've also had some hard days. Living and working in another country has definitely been an adjustment, but it's been one I'll never forget.
