Super Tuscans?

[Thomas]

Well, if it is a Super Tuscan it is produced in Tuscany.

The style is international, which is what I meant a long time ago when I talked about it betraying place. Last year I tasted wines in Verona, Italy that were produced by one of the winemakers at Bolla. As far as I was concerned, with my eyes closed, and if I was not in Italy, I would have guessed the wines were either Californian or Australian (with Chile in thrid place).

When I asked the winemaker why Bolla produced wines that do not reflect Valpolicella, which is where they were produced, he responded: "It's the international style; it's what Americans want."
