“Personally, I love Super Tuscans,” says Marika Vida-Arnold, national fine wine brand ambassador for distributor Frederick Wildman & Sons. “I’m very old-school in my approach. I personally favor the icons and originators featuring international varieties, like Sassicaia.
Super Tuscans single-handedly created a category and transformed the way people think about Italian wine and what’s possible there and no one can change that. But the term feels really awkward now. Calling anything Super implies ‘better,’ and as a culture, I think we’re moving past that.”
