20-vintage vertical of SuperTuscan Sassicaia going back to 1975, with owner Priscilla Incisa della Rocchetta – Wednesday 26th November
Yes, you read that correctly. Well, we did promise you some rather special events to celebrate our 10th anniversary…
Sassicaia is the original ‘SuperTuscan’ – a category it essentially invented with the 1968 launch of its revolutionary Bordeaux blend. The wine actually dates back to the 1940s, when Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, inspired by a visit to Bordeaux, planted Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc on his San Guido estate on the Tuscan coast, to make a wine for family and friends. In a region dominated by Sangiovese, such a move was not only unconventional, it was against the prevailing rules, meaning that when the wine came to be released commercially, it was done so as a humble Vino da Tavola.
Nonetheless, Sassicaia’s elegance, complexity and longevity quickly gained critical acclaim, helping to redefine Italian wine’s global image and inspiring a wave of winemakers to experiment in similar fashion. Its 1985 vintage alone is a legend in its own lifetime, while the label as a whole sits not only as a benchmark for the country’s fine wines but alongside the world’s very top Cabernet blends, from Bordeaux to California.
We are beyond thrilled to welcome Priscilla Incisa della Rocchetta, granddaughter of the founder and today the face of the estate, to host 12 Members at this landmark event. She will be joined in assessing the wines by our Head Sommelier Federico Moccia and friend of the Club Nelson Pari.
