Sassicaia 2007: A Super‑Tuscan Legend Unleashed

Tasting Notes

Deep garnet in the glass—this isn’t a pour, it’s an invitation. The nose opens with bold notes of spice, leather, tobacco, and rich berry tones that feel like a confidence flex. The palate delivers lush but sophisticated—dark cherries, black currant, herbal minerality, and layered complexity echo through the elegant, long finish. Silky tannins and a mouthfeel that’s equal parts plush and precise—this is Sassicaia with swagger and depth.

Meet the Winemaker

Tenuta San Guido—the wine estate that turned Bolgheri into wine lore. Created by Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, Sassicaia became the OG Super‑Tuscan. The 2007 vintage marks the beginning of a sleek stylistic era under Graziana Grassini’s care. Crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon (85%) and Cabernet Franc (15%), nurtured on gravel-rich, limestone soils of coastal Tuscany, and aged two years in French oak, this bottle is heritage, refinement, and terroir in one polished package.
