Product Description

“Tenuta San Guido’s Sassicaia is Italy’s most important wine and is consistently the country’s most recognized name worldwide. In my twenty years of focusing on Italian wines, Sassicaia is unrivaled in its uncompromising dedication to improvements in quality as well as the development of an ever-growing following from across the globe. Even at its lofty price, it continues to outsell all other Super Tuscans, and that is because the Incisa della Rocchetta family strives to make a wine that speaks of place. This Bolgheri red is defined by its coastal aspects, the sea air, the cypress trees and its geology. Sassicaia remains one of the most identifiable wines of place you will find. And it also helps that the wine is absolutely delicious!

The 2014 vintage proved to be difficult in some parts of Tuscany, but it was less so in the Bolgheri. The 2014 Sassicaia is an outstanding bottle of wine that is beginning to drink beautifully now. I recently enjoyed a lunch with co-owner Priscilla Incisa della Rocchetta that focused on this wine and I was wonderfully impressed with it. The other plus is that the price of the 2014 Sassicaia is the most modest I have seen it in more than a decade. The release price is $235, but we have a special holiday price of $158.99, the lowest in years. However, we have a very limited supply at this price – only 120 bottles!” – Lance Montalto, The Wine House (12/14/17)
