Sassicaia 1.5L

Pairs exquisitely with robust dishes: think charcoal-grilled lamb, venison, aged game stews, rich risottos, and hearty pasta like Bolognese.

Produced exclusively at Tenuta San Guido in Bolgheri, Tuscany — one of the few estates with its own DOC. It reflects Mediterranean terroir: intense sun, sea breezes, and well‑draining soils, ideal for Bordeaux-style varietals

Aged for 25 months in oak barrels, with approximately one-third new oak, marking a deliberate increase in time compared to earlier vintages. This contributes to its depth, structure, and aging potential

A meticulous winemaking approach: harvested fruit undergoes careful sorting, fermentation in temperature-controlled vats, followed by malolactic conversion and extended barrel aging. The goal is harmony between fruit and structure.

For a long time Bolgheri's Castiglioncello was used as Sassicaia's winery as it was the closest building to the vineyards at more than 300 m a.s.l..But as new vineyards were planted at greater distances and lower altitudes, a new larger winery had to follow. The new, more central location was decided in the 1960s. This is where it can be found today, on the cypress alley, close to the San Guido Oratory, which gives the estate its name. A third smaller winery was built in 2007 by architect Agnese Mazzei, it houses the barriques for the ageing of the Sassicaia.
