Sassicaia
|
|
|
|
 Sassicaia in its present blend consists of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. The average age of the vines is about 30 years. Approximately 15,000 cases are produced annually.
The 5,000 acre Tenuta San Guido estate faces the Mediterranean Sea on Tuscany’s southwestern coast. Approximately 80% of the vineyards, on 100 acres, are located at the foot of the hills that surround the estate, some five miles from the coast, at an altitude ranging from 250 to 300 feet. The remaining 20%, on 30 acres, are two miles further inland, on hills between 500 and 600 feet above sea level. Currently, 100% of these 130 vineyard-covered acres are in production.
The Sassicaia estate at Bolgheri came from Mario Incisa della Rocchetta's wife's family who had owned land there since 1800 - the name Sassicaia means,place of many stones, and the gravelly soil has been compared to those found in the Médoc. He planted Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and engaged the services of Piero Antinori`s winemaker, Giacomo Tachis.
