✨ Technical Specifications
Cooper's Hawk Super Tuscan pays homage to the revolutionary spirit of 1970s Tuscan winemakers who defied rigid local regulations to blend native Sangiovese with international varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Sourced from the rolling, sun-drenched hills of Tuscany, Italy, this wine captures the classic clay-limestone terroir of the region. The winemaking team carefully selects and imports these premium grapes, crafting a blend that balances the vibrant acidity and rustic charm of traditional Italian grapes with the bold structure and rich fruit profiles of French varieties. It is a celebration of modern Italian winemaking history, bringing a taste of Tuscan rebellion to contemporary tables.
🍾 About the Producer
Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurants was established in 2005 by entrepreneur Tim McEnery in Orland Park, Illinois, combining an upscale casual dining concept with an artisanal winery and tasting room. Rather than farming single-estate vineyards, the operation functions as a large-scale modern négociant and custom-crush producer, sourcing premium grapes and must primarily from leading American viticultural areas across California, Washington, and Oregon, as well as select international origins. Centralized vinification, blending, and barrel maturation take place at its dedicated Midwestern production facility under Vice President of Winemaking Rob Warren. The portfolio embraces an approachable, crowd-pleasing cellar philosophy focused on clean varietal expression, balanced oak integration, and food-friendly structures. Among its hallmark bottlings are California-sourced expressions such as Unoaked Chardonnay, Lux Chardonnay, Viognier, and the crisp, aromatic Riesling Gewürztraminer blend, alongside a diverse suite of methode-charmat sparkling and dessert offerings.
