About

Tuscany is a bastion of tradition in Italy. Home of many traditional wines including Chianti and Brunello, the region saw a new trend growing in the mid-20th Century, with many winemakers wanting to forge their own path. They gave birth to the 'Super-Tuscan' phenomenon, a winemaking adventure aiming to produce wines that defy the DOC rules. Using international grape varieties (mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) alongside local Sangiovese, they reaped incredible results and are today amongst collector's favourites.

This lunch will be a wonderful opportunity to compare some of these Tuscan's rising stars. The tasting will feature high scoring and sought-after Siepi, Concerto and Tenuta Belguardo made by the Mazzei family and second wine Le Cupole made by iconic winemaker Andrea Franchetti at the legendary Tenuta di Trinoro.

The lunch will take place in our charming garden rooms at Petersham Nurseries.
