About the Wine
Eklektos is the Super Tuscan that breaks all the rules. Using cutting-edge winemaking techniques, they harvest 10% of their grapes late to capture the rich, sweet blueberry intensity (similar to what makes Napa Cabernet so addictive). If you're obsessed with Orin Swift this Italian gem will blow your mind with familiar flavors at a fraction of the cost.
The 2021 vintage was absolutely legendary—Wine Spectator exploded with a 99-point score and declared: "This might be the best vintage in Tuscany's modern era."
Here's why Super Tuscans are absolutely brilliant: they're anarchic, revolutionary wines that completely reject tradition. Instead of playing it safe with Sangiovese like everyone else, these rebels use Bordeaux powerhouses—Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot—to create something completely different.
The crazy part? These "rule-breaking" wines can even taste better than the prestigious DOC and DOCG bottles that cost twice as much. But because they refuse to follow the old-school regulations, they get stuck with lower classifications like IGT—which is actually amazing for wine lovers because you get premium quality without the premium price tag. This is what happens when innovation meets rebellion, and your taste buds are the winners.
Corte Medicea is the Tuscan project that's turning heads. This distinguished estate operates under La Bollina, a renowned Piedmontese trading company that knows serious wine. They're not chasing trends or playing it safe—they're making wines with serious character that hit different. Sitting pretty on rolling hills with perfect clay-loam soils at 380-400 meters in southern Tuscany, their vineyards are in the sweet spot where magic happens.
Their celebrated consultant Andrea Bernardini is absolutely legit. This winemaking master has experience spanning Tuscany, South Africa, Romania, and Greece—trained at big-name estates like Poggio Bonelli and Ruffino and took his skills global across continents. He knows how to blend old-school Tuscan tradition with modern innovation to create wines that actually taste amazing and cost way less than they should. This is your chance to get premium Tuscan wine before everyone else figures it out. Trust us—you'll want multiple bottles of this one.
Tasting Notes
100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep ruby red color. Intense aromas of mocha and pepper, and fresh notes of red fruits like plums, blueberries, and raspberries. On the palate, elegant and silky, with a full body and harmonious tannins. Pair this wine with aged cheeses, game, and red meat.
Critical Reviews
~99 pts. The Best Tuscan red Wine, Luca Maroni I Migliori Vini Italiani.
A rich, spice-laced wine with ripe dark berries, chocolate, cedar and hints of tar on the nose. The palate is firm and highly extracted, with chalky tannins and a chewy and lightly austere finish. The aftertaste lingers, with hints of bitter spices and walnuts. Cabernet sauvignon. Drink or hold. ~ 91 points James Suckling
