Sassicaia (Citai)
A wine from the rocks. The 1968 vintage saw the debut of Sassicaia, a courageous wine that at the time, broke away from the standard way of making Tuscan Wine.
The wine is named after the stony soil which it comes from, and, by its nature, is destined to go far. A legacy to cherish and invest in. He, therefore, decided to plant the first cabernet sauvignon vineyard, just over one hectare of vines at an altitude of around 400 meters above sea level. This was the dawn of Sassicaia. From 1945 to 1967, Sassicaia, the name of an area within the Tenuta San Guido, remained a strictly private production, reserved for family and close friends. The first vintage to appear on the market was 1968.
