SuperTuscans:

  • The four 1990s vintages of Sassicaia (bottles of incredible value in secondary markets), which are part of this cellar could alone justify its purchase.
  • This collection also includes eight vintages of Antinori’s icon wine Tignanello – the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques and blended with the two Cabernets (Sauvignon and Franc), making it a milestone of the SuperTuscan phenomenon.

Spain:

  • A rare 1986 bottle of Marquès de Murrieta’s Castillo Ygay, one of Rioja’s fine wine pioneers.
  • A focus on Miguel Torres’ Mas La Plana, covering one decade (1985 to 1995), which gives a structured view of one of the wines that placed the Catalonian region of Penedés under collectors’ radars.
