Verticale Tasting of Sassicaia with Cellar Sommelier: an exclusive evening dedicated to one of the iconic wines of Italian excellence
On Thursday, February 26, 2026, Rome’s Cellar Sommelier Enoteca is organizing a unique vertical tasting, accompanied by a dinner with specially designed food pairings from Rome’s Song restaurant.
A not-to-be-missed event for enthusiasts and collectors who wish to delve into one of Italy’s most iconic wines through a guided vertical tasting and a dinner designed down to the smallest detail.
The organization: Cellar Sommelier
The tasting is organized by Cellar Sommelier, a refined wine shop and wine bar located in Rome’s Prati district. Known for its curated selection of Italian and international labels, it offers an intimate and welcoming environment that combines wine culture and conviviality.
The wine shop is distinguished by programming focused on verticals, thematic tastings and in-depth meetings with great Italian and international labels, often difficult to find on the market or presented in vintages of particular historical-critical interest.
The tasting: a journey into the myth of Sassicaia
The absolute star of the evening will be Tenuta San Guido‘s celebrated Sassicaia, an iconic wine of the Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC appellation and an international benchmark for so-called “Supertuscans.”
Sassicaia marked a momentous turning point for Italian oenology, putting Bolgheri on the map of great international terroirs. Born from the intuition of Marquis Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, Sassicaia represents a Bordeaux reading of the Mediterranean, based on a predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon blend with a share of Cabernet Franc, capable of combining structure, aromatic finesse and extraordinary ageing capacity.
Through a selection of four vintages – 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2022 – participants will explore the stylistic and aromatic evolution of this great red, discovering how weather and climatic conditions influence the wine’s profile.
Dinner paired with Song Dimsum restaurant.
The tasting will be accompanied by a dedicated gastronomic itinerary, currently being defined, designed to enhance the characteristics of each vintage being tasted. The dinner is organized by Song Dimsum Restaurant, a Roman reality in which tradition meets modernity. Chinese cuisine, declined in the purest Hong Kong style, evolves to offer a unique and enveloping experience.
Chef Lin Sang Chu has forty years of experience in the world’s most prestigious establishments, from the Kowloon Peninsula via Paris and London. His style expresses all the deep knowledge and great passion in the preparation of his “creations,” an explosion of flavors and aromas of Chinese cuisine, offering a unique and unforgettable experience.
