Sassicaia stands as the original Super Tuscan, proving Cabernet Sauvignon thrives on the Tyrrhenian coast since 1968. With 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc aged 24 months in barrique, this Bolgheri wine averages 14.5% ABV and retails near $250, a price that is 30% higher than #7 Barbaresco's top labels. Its 2015 vintage received 100 points from Wine Advocate, cementing its status as a benchmark for Italian Cabernet blends. Only 200,000 bottles are produced annually, reinforcing its rarity and investment appeal.
