The creation of super Tuscan wines resulted from the frustration winemakers had towards a slow bureaucracy in changing Italy’s wine law during the 1970s. The legal system eventually yielded in 1992 with the creation of IGT, a new designation that gave winemakers the ability to be more creative (WineFolly). Indicazione Geografica Tipica' Created in 1992, IGTs were intended to provide a tier above the basic Vino da Tavola (VdT) for quality wines that didn't meet the regulations for DOC or DOCG. So-called Super Tuscan wines are a prime example (Decanter).
