The Story Behind the Bottle
Fifty years ago, an unknown red named Sassicaia trumped the finest classed growth châteaux of Bordeaux in a blind tasting of Cabernet Sauvignon held by experts. That set the trend for Super Tuscans to become some of the greatest and most celebrated reds of Italy, a position they still hold today. Eschewing tradition they experimented with imposter grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon in particular, to make a substantial, ageworthy wine. Mario Incisa was the instigator of Sassicaia; his son Nicolò is the force behind Guidalberto. He wanted to experiment with Merlot, as well as produce a wine for earlier drinking. Today it combines dark, intense Cabernet with plush, ripe Merlot, aged in mostly French oak for 15 months. The apogee of Italian finesse.
