Alongside Ornellaia, Sassicaia, was one of the first Super Tuscans to see the light of day, a category of great wines made from mostly French grape varieties, but produced in a very different way from standardized production. This style, which emerged emerged in the late 1960s, marked the advent of a new generation of great Italian wines. In fact,, the history of Sassicaia wine is evenancient ancient. Since the midthe the 1940s, Marquis Mario Incisa della Rochetta, owner of Tenuta San Guido, decided to import French grape varieties (Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon) with vine cuttings originating from ChâChâteau Lafite-Rothschild. Initially intended for the owner’s exclusive consumption, Sassicaia wine was first marketed by Antinori starting with the 1968 vintage and establishedsoon as one of the finest Cabernet-based wines, capable of competing with thegreatest great Bordeaux wines. Spurred by this success, many other Tuscan producers began introducing numerous French grape varieties. Faced with this sudden competition, only rigor and winemaking expertise could make the difference—a challenge that the Incisa della Rochetta family had no troubleto to rise to, consistently maintaining their production at the pinnacle of quality.. In 1983, the Bolgheri was classified as a DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata), conferring on the famous wine further, albeit superfluous, prestige in the eyes of enthusiasts
