Tasting Notes

Robert Parker 92

Here’s a little gem from Tenuta San Guido that has never been reviewed in Robert Parker Wine Advocate (except informally by me one year ago in a Hedonist’s Gazette). I have consistently found the 1996 Bolgheri Sassicaia to be an impressive wine on the few occasions I have had to taste it. This is one of those rare underrated vintages that bring so much delight and surprise in an important retrospective such as this. As I recall from my informal tasting, this Sassicaia shows a heavy dose of Cabernet Sauvignon typicity but without the astringent medicinal tone or unripe greenness you might expect. Instead, it delivers a bright but balanced, tonic verve that is driven by the wine’s natural acidity. I had previously paired this wine with an oversized bistecca alla fiorentina t-bone steak and the marriage was perfect. This was a difficult vintage in Bolgheri, but the results in the bottle suggest otherwise. [Monica Larner, 28/09/2017]

Anticipated maturity: 2017-2028

Vinous 87

Fresh, moderately deep ruby-red. Spicy, lively aromas of cinnamon and vanilla. Round in flavor and rather elegantly styled, but doesn’t offer the weight or impact of a major wine. [Daniel Thomases, 07/01/2000]

Producer Profile

Producer Profile

Sassicaia wines are among the most prestigious and
influential Italian wines, recognised for their exceptional quality and role in
revolutionising winemaking practices in Italy.

The story of Sassicaia began in the 1940s when Marchese
Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, a passionate wine lover, planted Cabernet
Sauvignon vines in the Bolgheri region of Tuscany. Initially produced for
personal consumption and a ‘simple vague experiment’, Sassicaia (meaning ‘place
of many stones’) soon gained recognition for its outstanding quality and unique
character. It was the first Italian wine to challenge the notion that Italy was
only capable of producing traditional varietals. The wine showcased the
potential of Bordeaux grape varieties in Tuscany’s climate and terroir; indeed,
it has been likened to the terroir of the Médoc.

Sassicaia wines benefit from a unique
microclimate between 60 and 400 meters above sea level with olive groves,
woodland and hills buffeted by a sea breeze. The vineyards predominantly
produce Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.

Sassicaia played a significant role in shaping the Super Tuscan wine movement,
which challenged Italy’s restrictive winemaking laws and championed
quality-driven, innovative winemaking practices. Today Sassicaia, run by
third-generation family member Priscilla Incisa, is considered one of Italy’s
most iconic and collectable wines, with a consistent track record of critical
acclaim and a loyal global following.
