[Fast Shipping] BOLGHERI SASSICAIA DOC 2016 TENUTA SAN GUIDO LT. 3,000
Description
Sassicaia In the twenties, as a student in Pisa, Mario Incisa della Rocchetta dreamed of creating a thoroughbred wine. His ideal, as for the aristocracy of the time, was Bordeaux. This is how he describes him in a letter to Veronelli dated 11/6/1974. "… the origin of the experiment dates back to the years between 1921 and 1925, when, as a student in Pisa and often a guest of the Salviati Dukes in Migliarino, I had drunk a wine produced from one of their vineyards on the mountain of Vecchiano that had the same unmistakable "bouquet" of an old Bordeaux that I had just tasted rather than drunk, (because at 14 I was not allowed to drink wine) before 1915, at my grandfather Chigi's house." Having settled with his wife Clarice in the San Guido Estate on the Tyrrhenian coast, he experimented with some French vines (whose cuttings he had recovered from the estate of the Salviati Dukes in Migliarino, and not from France) and concluded that Cabernet had "the bouquet I was looking for". No one had ever thought of making a "Bordeaux" wine in Maremma, an unknown area from a wine point of view. The decision to plant this variety at Tenuta San Guido was partly due to the similarity he had noticed between this area of Tuscany and Graves, in Bordeaux. Graves means gravel, for the stony soil that distinguishes the area, just as Sassicaia, in Tuscany, names an area with the same characteristics. From 1948 to 1967, Sassicaia remained a strictly private domain, and was drunk only on the Estate. Every year, a few crates were left to age in the cellar of Castiglioncello. The marquis soon realized that as he aged, the wine improved considerably. As often happens with wines of great stature, what were previously considered defects, over time turned into virtues. Now friends and relatives were urging Mario Incisa to deepen his experiments and perfect his revolutionary winemaking style for that area. The 1968 vintage was the first to be put on the market, with a welcome worthy of a Bordeaux Premier Cru. In the following years the cellar was moved to temperature-controlled rooms, steel vats replaced wooden vats for fermentation, and French barriques were introduced for aging.
