Producer: Tenuta San Guido's Sassicaia stands as the pioneering Super Tuscan that revolutionised Italian winemaking when first released in the 1960s. Created by Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, this legendary estate proved that Bordeaux varietals could thrive in Tuscany's coastal climate.
The 2016 vintage benefits from the estate's unique terroir of gravelly, well-draining soils near the Tyrrhenian coast, combined with the cooling maritime influence that creates ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. This vintage represents classic Sassicaia elegance, showcasing the perfect balance between power and finesse that has made it Italy's most celebrated wine and the first Italian wine to receive its own DOC designation.
