It\u2019s one of the world\u2019s most prestigious wine magazines and thousands of people all around the world trust its reviews to help them make their choices when it comes to Italian wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year, the magazine chooses one wine as the best of the year. This is always a wine of such spectacular quality that it wows everybody at the publication. And typically, the wine ends up selling extremely well as a result of the recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that in mind, let us take you back to 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is when the Bolgheri-Sassicaia Sassicaia 2015 hit the market. An interesting Super Tuscan, the wine ended up winning the award of wine of the year.&nbsp;<em>The Wine Spectator<\/em>&nbsp;gave it a rating of 97\/100, with the magazine describing it as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cDense yet lively, structured yet impeccably balanced, with vibrant acidity driving the long, fruit-filled aftertaste. The oak is beautifully integrated.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a phenomenal example of Italian red wine and one that we fully recommend to anybody reading this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet, Sassicaia isn\u2019t a household name in the Italian wine industry. If you ask the average person to name some red wines, they\u2019ll reel off the likes of Chianti, Barolo, Barbaresco, and many others before they get to Sassicaia, assuming they get to it at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our point is that not a lot of people have heard of this wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why we\u2019re writing this article. Now that you know that Sassicaia is one of the best wines around, it\u2019s time to learn about what makes it so brilliant. Here are a few things that you need to know about Sassicaia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Item #1 \u2013 It Was the First Super Tuscan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we talk about the Super Tuscans, Tignanello is often the first wine that comes to mind. Made by the Antinori family, it became the wine that spearheaded the movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it wasn\u2019t the first Super Tuscan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, it was far from it as Sassicaia got there at least a year before. It was the makers of Sassicaia who first came up with the idea of blending Cabernet Sauvignon with Tuscany\u2019s famous Sangiovese grape. And it was this wine that took a large portion of the backlash for this innovation when it first hit the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, Sassicaia didn\u2019t receive the same accolades as Tignanello when the Super Tuscans were eventually accepted by the wider wine community. However, it\u2019s just as responsible for the changes in DOC certification as any of the other wines from the era, perhaps even more so as it was one of the first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Item #2 \u2013 Sassicaia Always Shunned Tradition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The innovation behind the rise of the Super Tuscans wasn\u2019t the only time that the makers of this wine shunned tradition and carved out their own paths. If we look all the way back to 1944, we see the owners of the company planting Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc in their vineyards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why was this a big deal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, Tuscan winemakers focus on the grapes that come specifically from that region. This was one of the major issues that people had with the Super Tuscans many years later. In shunning tradition and using non-native grape varieties, the makers of Sassicaia immediately set themselves apart as innovators at a time when tradition was everything in the Italian wine industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Item #3 \u2013 The Winery\u2019s Founder Originally Didn\u2019t Make Wine At All!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can trace the origins of Sassicaia back to the brilliant Mario Incisa. However, Mario didn\u2019t always have designs on being a winemaker. An agronomist by trade, Mario originally grew grains, vegetables, and fruit on his land. On top of that, he built a reputation for growing stunning tulips that were among the best in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t until several years after coming into ownership of his Tuscan land that he turned his attention to grapes. And as we\u2019ve already covered, he did it in a way that shocked the Tuscan system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So again, we see a lack of convention in the creation of the Sassicaia wine. However, we also see amazing foresight on the part of Mario. His area of Tuscany was predominantly marshy, which led to low-quality yields of Sangiovese. By switching to a different grape, Mario could create quality wines based on his land, rather than the traditions imposed on it. This is just one example of how somebody who comes from outside the wine industry can lend a new perspective to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Item #4 \u2013 Sassicaia Really Struggled Initially<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In talking about the Super Tuscans, we mentioned that Sassicaia faced quite a lot of backlash from traditionalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, we didn\u2019t dig into how deep that backlash went! For several decades after its introduction, Sassicaia struggled to get a foothold in the Italian wine industry. This wasn\u2019t due to a lack of quality. In fact, it all came down to people not wanting to buy a wine that didn\u2019t fit their expectations of the Tuscan region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may be why Sassicaia doesn\u2019t have as stellar a reputation as it should have. It took several decades for people to start accepting the wine. And it\u2019s only in recent years that people have recognised it as one of the best in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Item #5 \u2013 Blind Taste Tests Showed its Quality Long Before it Was Popular<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The year was 1978 and the event was a blind taste testing of 30 Bordeaux blends from around the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The makers of Sassicaia entered their 1972 vintage\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And they came out on top by a long margin! Even back in the 1970s, those in the know recognised that Sassicaia had immense quality. It would just take the rest of the wine drinking world several decades to catch up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Final Word<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps you\u2019ve never had the privilege of drinking a glass of Sassicaia before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If so, we suggest now may be the perfect time to change that. This is a wine that paved the way for many of the innovators that we see in the Tuscany region today. And as the 2018&nbsp;<em>Wine Spectator<\/em>&nbsp;results show us, it\u2019s a wine of unrivalled quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/collections\/bolgheri-sassicaia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (apre in una nuova scheda)\">2017 vintage<\/a>\u00a0in the Xtrawine store today.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re sure that you\u2019ve heard of&nbsp;The Wine Spectator.
