Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Deep ruby red in color, with purple reflections. Its intense, persistent bouquet of violets, cherries and red berry fruit shows subtle, elegant notes of vanilla and toasted wood, minerally nuances and hints of leather, chocolate, black pepper, and cinnamon... an exquisite palate of aromas confirmed on the full, lush, flavorful palate characterized by sweet mellow tannins and velvet texture. Long, lingering finish.

    This is the best Supremus ever with a beautiful balance of dark berry, wet earth and dark tea character on the nose and palate. Full body, polished texture and a long and flavorful finish. Drink or hold.

Supremus, Italy
Supremus Supremus Vineyards Winery Image
Neil and Maria Empson have always favored Tuscany as a winemaking region. After starting their own importing business for Italian wines, it was a natural step to bottle their own homage to Tuscany’s winemaking areas. Teaming up with friend and winemaker, Franco Bernabei, they crafted Supremus from some of the best vineyards sites in Tuscany.

Launched in 2009, this wine was over thirty years in the making. Its creators, Neil and Maria Empson, set up Neil Empson Selections in 1972 and subsequently founded several proprietary brands from various Italian regions. Tuscan wines have always been a favorite and for that reason, the Empson’s chose winemaker and close friend, Franco Bernabei, the Maestro of Tuscan reds to produce their wine.

The combined passion and experience of Neil Empson and Franco Bernabei epitomizes the harmony of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot.

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.

A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
