New Label Proposed for the 'Supertuscans'
Staff Writer – December 15, 2005

 

I SupertuscansA new label for the 'Supertuscan' wines has been proposed during the course of the presentation of a book by Andrea Zanfi entitled 'I Supertuscans' ('The Supertuscans') - over four hundred pages that praise wines such as Tignanello and Sassicaia, made strictly in accordance with the DOC and DOCG protocols.

Products that, according to Zanfi, "risk ending up off the market because of an economic crisis that demands low prices".

The proposal is, says Zanfi, "to get recognition of the quality of these wines, via a label created in the style of the great French cru." A proposal that that risks sparking controversy.

"A new label," claims Flavio Tattarini, president of the Italian Wine Making Society, "isn't appropriate for wines that come on the market freely. It is instead necessary to work on the discipline of denominations, and at the same time re launching the characteristics of the area of origin."
