From its legendary beginnings as an experiment by Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta (co-owner of horse racing legend, Ribot) to try and replicate the aromas of aged Bordeaux, Sassicaia has gone from a Vino da Tavola to an IGT wine to the only Italian wine from a single estate to have its own DOC. Annual production now hovers near 200,000 bottles. Synonymous with Super-Tuscan, it strides with powerful grace.
