Sassicaia is the celebrated flagship wine of Tenuta San Guido, a pioneer of great Bordeaux-style Tuscan reds. Born from the intuition of Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, Sassicaia is now one of the most iconic Italian wines in the world. The Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC designation, reserved exclusively for this wine, certifies its uniqueness and the unbreakable bond with the estate's terroir, located between the hills and the sea of the Livorno Maremma. Thanks to careful agronomic practices and precision winemaking, the Estate consistently ensures healthy and rich grapes. The blend is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon and a small percentage of Cabernet Franc, aged for approximately 25 months in French oak barriques. Sassicaia continues the tradition of elegance, longevity, and class that has made this wine an absolute benchmark for lovers of great Italian reds.
