A Vintage Assessments Explorer's Selection! |
| San Guido (the owners/makers of Sassicaia) do not own a distillery, so they engage grappa specialists Jacopo Poli to create this amazing eau-de-vie. Distilled and matured in former Sassicaia barrels that impart rich echoes of the Super Tuscan, this is the perfect gift for admirers of Sassicaia. In his November 19, 2009 review for the Toronto Star, Gord Stimmell called this: 'the best grappa [he has] ever tasted' and awarded it a rating of 94 points. |
