Product details

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. After decades of experimentation, the first vintage was released in 1968. Marchese Nicolò Incisa della Rocchetta continues the decades of tradition today at Tenuta San Guido, which is considered by many to be the birthplace of Tuscan Cabernet.

The Sassicaia 2011 from Tenuta San Guido is a world-renowned Super Tuscan Bordeaux-style blend, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Cabernet Franc. Recognised for its elegance, structure, and ageing potential, this vintage exemplifies the iconic Sassicaia style — refined, expressive, and highly collectable.

For collectors:
A vintage of sophistication and ageing potential, ideal for cellaring through 2035+, representing a refined expression of Sassicaia’s legendary Bolgheri terroir — a must-have for serious wine collectors.

Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with roasted or braised lamb, prime beef cuts, venison, or aged cheeses like Pecorino Toscano or Parmigiano-Reggiano. Its structure and elegance complement rich, savoury dishes and gourmet preparations.
