  • Goedhuis Waddesdon, February 2025

    Attentive to the nuances of the vintage, in 2022 Carlo chose to show a slightly lower percentage of Cabernet Franc in the final blend, but the crystalline red fruit it contributes is still perfectly defined, bringing the hallmark juicy acidity that marks out Sassicaia out in any Super Tuscan lineup. The savoury, iron flecked palate is enlivened with bursts of blood orange citrus, tart pomegranate, and a subtle violet perfume, complementing the finesse of tannin that shows off a well-judged delicacy of touch in the use of oak this year, reducing the time in barrel to 23 months.

  • Matthew Jukes, February 2025, Score: 19

    Leaner, more willowy, pure and fresh, this is a black-fruited wine with none of the overt exoticism of 2021. In its place are bright fruit tones and herbal and minty highlights that remind me more of an elite Margaret River Cabernet than a robust Left Bank claret, let alone a Super-Tuscan template. The perfume is delightful, with layers of black cherry, blackcurrant, black fig and char. The mid-palate is uncommonly silky and sleek, and the finish is respectful, refined and detailed. If you favour bigger, richer, chocolaty wines, then the 2021 will be your friend. If you favour more chiselled, cooler, quieter wines, then this year’s 2022 will work perfectly. If you are a fully paid-up member of the Sassicaia fan club, you must buy both because these two vintages will travel in tandem for a decade or more, inviting fascinating discussion, analysis and opinion, and I venture the votes will be split when tasters are asked to pick a favourite. One thing is sure: climate is becoming more and more impactful on wines from so-called warmer climes. Nothing can be taken for granted, and every vintage or every wine must be tasted and evaluated in the clear light of day. Labels, to my mind, have always been meaningless. It is the wine in the glass that speaks the truth, and so assessing 2022 Sassicaia, with its 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Cabernet Franc, and slight 13.5% alcohol, I think this vintage will be filed in the ‘classical’ pigeon-hole, and by this, I mean the classical Cabernet pigeon-hole and not a classical Sassicaia one. I like it. I have awarded it the same score as last year’s 2021. Perhaps my favourite style from this mighty estate lounges is somewhere in the middle of these two book-end styles. Either way, they are both fascinating wines. I would not wait too long to open either vintage because fruit precocity is fast becoming a hallmark of this renowned estate.

  • Jane Anson, February 2025, Score: 96

    The tannins are gentle and integrated even now, while still in barrel, and its provides a striking contrast with many 2022s from this corner of Tuscany, where concentration is the byword. Sassicaia is able to retain acidity even in the hottest summers, and the balsamic and butterscotch notes are beautifully balanced by rosebuds, lavender, red cherries, rosemary, fennel, charred sandalwood and tomato leaf. The frame is in place, and the density offset by a soft textural caress. Sample taken from three barrels, final wine to be shipped in a few months, after a dry vintage helped by a few rains here just before harvest. 40% new oak for ageing, Carlo Paoli director.

The Original Super Tuscan, Sassicaia was created in the mid-1940s by the Marquis Mario Incisadella Rochetta, an aristocrat looking to reproduce his favourite wines of Bordeaux - a first in Italian viticulture.

The Original Super Tuscan, Sassicaia was created in the mid-1940s by the Marquis Mario Incisadella Rochetta, an aristocrat looking to reproduce his favourite wines of Bordeaux - a first in Italian viticulture. Noticeably distinct from the lighter styled wines of the region, the bold expression of Cabernet was not initially well received by the Italian drinking public. As a result, from 1948 to 1960, the wines were consumed only at the estate. The 1968 vintage marked its first commercial release. As Bordeaux blends grew in popularity over the years, Sassicaia was able to create a reputation unparalleled amongst its Super Tuscan peers. Recognising their unique terroir and exceptionalquality, they were even granted their own DOC in 1994 named accordingly, Bolgheri Sassicaia. Keeping these distinctions in mind, a winery of movie set proportions had been expected. Yet in fact, it is superbly discrete and modest - reminiscent of a domaine in Burgundy or the Rhône.Read less

Region

Bolgheri

The medieval town of Bolgheri was originally made famous by the poet Giosuè Carducci who wrote about the stunning Cypress Avenue, a breathtaking and magical three mile long corridor of trees leading up to the entrance to the village. Swept away to the coastal and most westerly area of Tuscany, Bolgheri has become synonymous with wines known as ‘Super Tuscans'. Composed of classic Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (intermixed with the occasional Sangiovese), the Super Tuscans began as mere experimentation in the 1960s and 70s. These international French varieties flourished in Bolgheri's warm, yet maritime climate which resulted in unexpected success and reknown. It is here that one finds such famous names as Ornellaia, Tignanello and Sassicaia.
