The One That Started It All...You’ve heard it before, Sassicaia is the most collectible Italian wine to come out of the Boot. The now historic wine is single-handedly responsible for launching the Super Tuscan movement and remains one of the most sought-after wines in the world. Marchese Nicolò Incisa della Rocchetta continues the 36 year old tradition at the Tenuta San Guido estate, which is considered by many to be the birthplace of Tuscan Cabernet. He is NOT influenced by the international demand to create a super-extracted, monster red wine; instead, he continues to produce the most elegant Super Tuscan there is! Read more

Harvest ing, strictly by hand, began with the Merlot at the end of August and continued from September with the Cabernet Sauvignon.
Fermentation temperature 26-28 °C
Wine making Sorting and careful hand selection of the bunches and grapes, using a sorting table. Gentle pressing and destemming of the bunches to prevent the grapes from breaking and excessive release of tannins. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature maintained at around 26-28°C, without any addition of external yeasts. Maceration in this vintage was around 12 5 days for the Merlot grapes and 10 3 days for the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, in order to limit excessive tannin release in a vintage that was certainly not poor in anthocyanins. Frequent pumping over and délestages resulted in greater aromatic expression of the musts.
Aging Malolactic fermentation, which began at the beginning of November, was also completely carried out in steel vats, after which the musts were placed in barriques for ageing. On completion of malolactic fermentation, the wine was placed in French oak barriques, and a small part in American oak, for a period of 15 months.
