Sassicaia--Vintage 1985
6 magnums per lot
SASSICAIA As a student in Pisa during the 1920s, the Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta dreamed of creating a noble wine. Like most of the Italian aristocracy at the time, the Marcheses taste in wine ran strongly to fine Bordeaux. After settling with his wife into their two thousand acre Tenuta San Guido estate, he experimented with several French grape varieties and concluded that Cabernet, "the bouquet I was looking for," would thrive in central Italy. Distinct from the local, traditional Tuscan and Piedmontese varietals of Sangiovese and Nebbiolo, the use of Cabernet Sauvignon as the primary component of a wine represented a radical shift away from the traditional Tuscan varietals. The Marcheses decision to plant Cabernet was also influenced by the microclimate of Tenuta San Guido, which is similar to Graves in Bordeaux. Just as Graves means gravel in French, Sassicaia in Italian means "place of my stones." The Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta passed away in 1983. His son, Marchese Nicolò Incisa della Rocchetta, now oversees all estate operations. The 75 hectares of vineyards are planted with 85 Cabernet Sauvignon and 15 Cabernet Franc.
