ABOUT THE WINE
The original “Super Tuscan,” Sassicaia pioneered the movement of creating Bordeaux-style wines in Tuscany. The first commercially available vintage was produced in 1968 after more than two decades of experimentation, with visionary winemaker Mario Incisa della Rochetta finally settling on a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc that he felt truly expressed the terroir of his estate. In the decades since, the estate has become a benchmark for quality in fine Italian wine.
