Yeah, the wording is awkward. Feel free to improve. Essentially it is just meant to introduce the main grapes of the region. As for the Super Tuscan, the sources are in the Super Tuscan section-currently footnote #6. (Footnotes are not required in the lead, which per
WP:LEAD is merely meant to be a summary of the sourced content within the article).

After rereading
WP:LEAD (Which changes almost weekly it seems :p), it can be determined on a case by case basis. If it seems that the claim is "contentious" or likely to be challenged, then feel free to add a duplicate footnote.

Super Tuscans
After reviewing
d:Q2645959 and examining the sources provided in the German version, I believe that the section of "Super Tuscans"should be made into a standalone article. Just write it here as a note for the moment.
