Why Is It Special?

2011 was a warm vintage, producing a richer, riper Sassicaia compared to cooler years like 2010.
Sassicaia remains the benchmark for Super Tuscans, consistently ranking among Italy’s greatest wines.
The terroir of Bolgheri, with its maritime influence, gives Sassicaia a unique balance of power and elegance.

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 Bolgheri Sassicaia 2011 from Tenuta San Guido is a Super Tuscan red wine made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon (85%) with a small percentage of Cabernet Franc (15%).
