This is a legendary wine in the wine history of Italy. Sassicaia made the Bolgheri region widely known around the world. The super Tuscans are wines that originated from Tenuta San Guido. Their creator envisioned making wines that resemble the style of French Bordeaux and have great aging potential.
The result justified him, as he set aside the local and dominant Italian grape varieties in the area and cultivated Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc in the unique terroir of the region. A key component of the success is the unique soil, as the gravelly (graves) soil found in Bordeaux also appears in this part of Tuscany.
For this reason, the creator of this wine named it Sassicaia, which means stone in Italian. The 2017 Sassicaia is a great wine, with great aging potential, that will introduce you to the magical and unique world of the super Tuscans.
