Super Tuscan-Style Wine Kit, Artisan

Overview

You are drawn to wines that represent a turning point in tradition, wines born from conviction rather than permission. With the Super Tuscan-Style Wine Kit, Artisan, you step into a style that reshaped Italian winemaking by honoring heritage while embracing bold, thoughtful evolution. This is a wine for someone who values balance over rigidity and expression over convention. Crafted from premium California grapes and developed by Finer Wine Kits, this kit allows you to create a wine that channels the spirit of Tuscany through a modern, composed lens, confident, refined, and unmistakably intentional.

Flavor and Style
As fermentation progresses, you guide a wine that reveals harmony through contrast. Sangiovese leads with bright cherry and red plum, delivering freshness and natural acidity that define the wine’s core. Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure and depth with dark berry and subtle herbal notes, while Merlot smooths the profile with roundness, gentle earth, and a polished mid palate. The result is a medium to full bodied red wine with a vivid ruby color, a fruit driven yet savory profile, and a dry finish that feels balanced and complete. This is a wine that carries richness without weight and structure without severity.

What Makes This Kit Different
This is premium home winemaking built around authenticity rather than shelf stability. You work with raw grape concentrates and real grape skins, not heat processed substitutes designed to endure room temperature storage. Each Artisan kit includes 2 lbs of real grape skins and 2 oz of grape seeds, delivering natural color, texture, and phenolic balance while preserving freshness and definition. In traditional red winemaking, fermenting with skins and seeds is essential to achieving a complete and natural mouthfeel. This approach is why wines made with Finer Wine Kits move beyond the familiar kit taste associated with shelf stable brands and instead express the realism, balance, and depth expected from wines made with fresh grapes.

A Classic Expression of Balance
Artisan wines are designed to finish at 12.5 to 13 percent alcohol, a range long regarded as the classic sweet spot for fine wine. This level preserves fruit clarity and integration while maintaining structure and length on the palate. The result is a medium to full bodied wine that matures sooner and expresses greater fruit forwardness than higher alcohol wines, allowing balance and complexity to emerge without extended aging.

Cold Stored, Direct to Your Door
This kit is a true agricultural product and cannot sit on a shelf. Because of its perishable nature, it is stored cold and shipped directly from freezer storage to your door, preserving freshness, aroma, and varietal character. This direct to door model is essential to quality and is a defining principle behind every Finer Wine Kits product. By eliminating distributors and wholesalers, you receive top grade ingredients at peak condition without unnecessary markups.

The raw grape concentrate is vacuum evaporated at low temperatures to protect the grape’s intrinsic character and avoid the cooked flavors common in shelf stable kits. If you are not ready to begin immediately, the grape skins must be stored in your freezer, and the raw grape concentrates must be stored at 3 degrees F or colder to preserve quality.
