Suprimo

Suprimo is a term used in the context of wine to describe a wine that has been aged in a cask that previously held a wine of superior quality. The term is often used in the context of sherry, where it refers to a wine that has been aged in a cask that previously held a fino sherry. The use of suprimo casks is believed to impart certain characteristics to the wine, such as increased complexity and depth of flavor. The term is also used in the context of port, where it refers to a wine that has been aged in a cask that previously held a tawny port. The use of suprimo casks in port is believed to impart a similar set of characteristics to the wine. The term is not widely used outside of the context of sherry and port, and its use is not standardized. As such, the specific characteristics that suprimo casks impart to a wine can vary depending on the specific wine and the specific cask.
