Produced in the prestigious area of Bolgheri, in Maremma Tuscany, Sassicaia was born from the intuition of the Incisa della Rocchetta family to create a wine inspired by the great Bordeaux, using mainly Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with a small percentage of Cabernet Franc.
This pioneering choice, in the 1960s, led to the birth of the first "Super Tuscan", a wine which, in addition to obtaining immediate critical recognition, paved the way for a new category of high quality Italian wines produced outside of traditional denominations. The particularly stony soil (hence the name "Sassicaia"), together with the mild climate influenced by the proximity to the sea, gives the wine a unique structure and complexity.
The 375ml, half bottle format offers the opportunity to enjoy the magnificence of Sassicaia on more intimate occasions or for those who wish to explore its evolution without having to open a whole bottle. Despite its smaller size, the wine retains all the distinctive characteristics that have made it famous throughout the world.
The vinification of Sassicaia follows rigorous methods, with fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, followed by aging for approximately 24 months in French oak barriques. This process gives the wine its typical elegance, enriched by notes of ripe red fruit, spices, aromatic herbs and a subtle touch of vanilla and tobacco.
Visually, Sassicaia has an intense and lively ruby red color. On the nose, it offers a wide spectrum of aromas, from red fruits to balsamic, mineral and aromatic herbal notes, with a light trace of vanilla and chocolate given by the aging in wood. In the mouth, the wine demonstrates extraordinary elegance and balance, with fine tannins and a complex structure leading to a long and persistent finish.
Ideal to pair with red meat dishes, game and mature cheeses, the Sassicaia DOC in 375ml format from Tenuta San Guido is a unique tasting experience, which allows you to savor the greatness of one of the best Italian wines, celebrated and appreciated by wine lovers. wine all over the world.
