The history of this prestigious Domaine dates back to the mid-20th century, when visionary Mario Incisa della Rocchetta brought a bold vision to life.
Acquired in the 1940s by the Incisa della Rocchetta family, this wine estate was the starting point for an adventure that would revolutionize the Italian wine landscape. Driven by a passion for viticulture, Mario Incisa della Rocchetta opted to grow Cabernet Sauvignon, a bold choice for the Tuscan region at the time. This innovative vision laid the foundations for Sassicaia, a world-renowned wine that has lifted this Domaine to the top of the winegrowing benchmarks.
Hectares of hills, benefiting from ideal exposure and a unique soil blending schist and rock, are the stage for the creation of wines that combine finesse, complexity and terroir authenticity.
The grape varieties of this Domaine are predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, sometimes accompanied by Merlot or Cabernet Franc. This judicious combination, inspired by the great wines of Bordeaux, produces wines distinguished by their balance, structure and elegance. The family pays particular attention to preserving the identity of each grape variety, creating harmonious blends that captivate the senses.
Over the generations, the Incisa della Rocchetta family has preserved the very essence of this estate while remaining open to innovation. The winery, equipped with modern technology, remains faithful to traditional winemaking methods, guaranteeing the consistent quality of the wines. Sassicaia's international renown has consolidated the reputation of this Domaine as one of the world's most prestigious wine estates.
Thus, this place embodies the union between family heritage and visionary creativity. Meticulously tended hectares, meticulous varietal selection and the family's rich history converge to create wines that transcend the boundaries of time and space. Each bottle is a celebration of the harmony between tradition and modernity, a sensory experience that transports tasters to the heart of Italian winemaking excellence.
