SASSICAIA - TENUTA SAN GUIDO
Although several wines claim to be “the first Super Tuscan,” most would
agree that this title belongs to Sassicaia. The owner, Mario Incisa della
Rocchetta, planted Cabernet Sauvignon already in 1944 on this estate
which has similar soils to Bordeaux. In addition to Cabernet Sauvignon
the wine also contains around 15% Cabernet Franc. At first, the wine was
intended for personal consumption but the 1968 vintage was released
to the public to universal acclaim and is since considered one of the top
wines of Italy.

MONTEVERRO
This Super Tuscan only planted its first vines in 2004, yet Robert Parker
described the 2010 flagship vintage as “absolutely stunning” awarding the
wine 96 points. A huge achievement. The passionate owners are certainly
living up to their goal of creating a “Premier Grand Cru” of Tuscany. Hand
harvested grapes and the application of only the most modern wine
making techniques combined with the skills of world-renowned wine
maker Michel Rolland has garnered high praise already Matching and
exceeding their Super Tuscan rivals such as Sassicaia with the critics. It is
surely only a matter of time that Monteverro is regarded with the same
prestigious esteem as these others with consumers.
