Imperial Format - Absolute Prestige

The Imperial format (6 liters) is equivalent to 8 standard bottles and is one of the most spectacular and rare formats for collector wines. This monumental format allows for slower and more harmonious aging, as the ratio between the wine volume and the air space is extremely favorable. The Imperial is the absolute prestige format, perfect for grand celebrations and serious collectors.

The Wine That Revolutionized Italy

Sassicaia was the first modern Super Tuscan, created in 1968 by Marquis Mario Incisa della Rocchetta. This revolutionary wine challenged conventions by planting Cabernet Sauvignon in Tuscany and using French oak barrels, forever changing Italian enology and creating the Super Tuscans category.

Unique Bolgheri Terroir

The vineyards benefit from complex and varied soils, with a strong presence of limestone, areas rich in marl and pebbles, as well as clay components. Located between 100 and 400 meters above sea level, with a west-southwest orientation, they provide ideal conditions for grape ripening. Proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea provides freshness and minerality.
