Description
Tuscan Blend is more like the Super Tuscan Blend and is influenced by the Bordeaux style. Adrian has blended Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Tuscany is famous for its red wines made from the Sangiovese Grape. Chianti is permitted to use as little as 75% Sangiovese and is often blended with a maximum of 10% Canaiolo, up to 10% of the white wine grapes Malvasia and Trebbiano and up to 15% of any other red wine grape grown in the region, such as Cabernet Sauvignon.
Food Pairings: The Tuscan people are big meat eaters and Super Tuscans are perfect accompaniments to grilled steaks and roasts. Bitter vegetables like rapini and kale make fine accoutrements and also polenta, stewed white beans and porcini mushrooms.
