About The Wine
"Super Tuscans" are anarchic and revolutionary wines, wines that are not following the traditional winemaking in the region’s DOC and DOCG. Instead of using the classic grape of the region: Sangiovese, these wines are mainly made with grapes used for “Bordeaux Blends”, Cabernet Sauvignon, and/or Merlot. In some cases, Super Tuscans are even better than DOC and DOCG wines, but because of their “rebellion” they have to be classified in lower categories such as "Vino da Tavola" or "Indicazione Geografica Tipica" (IGT).
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.
On the nose, a delightful blend of spices and liquorice mingles with hints of currants and wildberries. The palate reveals a full-bodied wine with smooth tannins, offering a long, lingering taste of red fruits, pepper, and chocolate.

Super Tuscan is so good! Aristeo! Smooth and delicious!
I particularly liked the exchange I had with Jairo before I made my purchase. His knowledge of the grapes blended in this made me anxious to receive it and taste it.
You guys are excellent communicators. I am not a big customer but really like your marketing etc. The few I have purchased have been excellent wines for the $$$ ! Greg’s 1 take sales pitches are hard to resist. At times ( regardless of Greg’s convincing pitch) I want to try the wine before bringing in 6+ bottles. Maybe if customer purchase a case after initial trial ( same item) you provide an incentive…..? Just a thought …the free shipping is clearly a good incentive for the 6. CHEERS!
The wine is great. However the packaging is not great. It has lots of Styrofoam which is hard to dispose of and is not good for the environment I really prefer the paper/cardboard base packaging that I have received with other cases.
Is there a way to highlight whether something comes in Styrofoam or cardboard?

Thank you, Sean, for your feedback and for taking the time to review the 2020 Corte Medicea Aristeo Super Tuscan! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the wine.
Regarding the packaging, I wanted to clarify that what may look like Styrofoam is actually Duratherm, a sustainable, biodegradable material that resembles Styrofoam but is recyclable and landfill-friendly. During the fall and winter months, we switch to recycled pulp packaging to further minimize our environmental impact.
We appreciate your concern for eco-friendly packaging, and we're always striving to improve our practices. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out!
Very solid wine! Let it breath in a carafe for about 20 minutes and enjoyed it with my wife, son and his new girlfriend!
