There are now officially recognized denominations for the category of wines that were once outlaws of sorts.

It all began with one wine, the legendary Sassicaia , created at Tenuta San Guido in Bolgheri by its owner, Marchesi Mario Incisa della Rocchetta.

The term Super Tuscan is largely credited to American wine critic Robert Parker .

Last week marked a visit from Priscilla Incisa della Rocchetta, granddaughter of Marchese Mario .

The 2011 vintage of Sassicaia was a standout, a testament to the wine’s ability to age with grace and aplomb.

For those of us who must live on a budget, there are more affordable alternatives.
