Created by Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta in the 1940s from Bordeaux cuttings, it spent over two decades as a family wine before its commercial debut in 1971. It was the first Super Tuscan, and in 1994 it became Italy's only single-estate DOC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 vintage was outstanding for Bolgheri — a calm, well-paced growing season with cool temperatures and stable summer conditions. Rain during flowering reduced yields and concentrated the clusters. Harvest ran from early October, a full week later than in the hot vintages of 2021 and 2022. The wine is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Cabernet Franc, aged 24 months in French barriques (40% new). Decanter rated it 98 points; Vinous gave it 97.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePAIRINGS :\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eBraised short ribs with demi-glace\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003estructure and cedar notes cut through the richness while complementing the brown sauce\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eBistecca alla Fiorentina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ethe Tuscan classic — tannins and acidity built for Chianina beef\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eAged Pecorino Toscano\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003esalt and intensity of the cheese balances the wine's dark fruit and spice\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Eastside Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62811935768735,"sku":"8643","price":274.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/eastsidecellars.com\/products\/tenuta-san-guido-sassicaia-2023-750ml","provider":"Eastside Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
