Santa Cruz Mountains, a US appellation (AVA) that belongs to Santa Cruz County (Santa Cruz Mountains) wine district, which in turn belongs to the Central Coast wine region in California. Santa Cruz Mountains was given its AVA status in 1981. The appellation has about 194,000 hectares and of these, about 526 hectares are planted with grapes. It has an oceanic climate (maritime climate). The appellation's vineyards are located at a height of between 120 and 820 meters above sea level. At these heights, day temperatures are lower than in the valley below. Nights, on the other hand, are somewhat warmer, because the chilly fog from the Pacific Ocean does not reach here. These temperature variations help to that the grapes mature slowly and evenly. The end result is wines with a good tannin structure, a good balance and a good acidity. (2017-10)

Sardinien, an Italian wine region that consists of two appellations: Cannonau di Sardegna and Monica di Sardegna.
Sassicaia, an Italian wine that comes from the wine producer Tenuta San Guido in Bolgheri. Once classified as Vino da Tavola (Vino da Tavola = table wine) and now classified as DOC (DOC Bolgheri Sassicaia). The wine is considered to be one of Italy's best, most expensive and most sought after red wines. In 1978, the wine won the English prestigious wine magazine "Decanter" Cabernet Sauvignon-competition as the world's best Cabernet Sauvignon-wine. The wine's exceptional high quality is achieved through very low yields (ca 30 hl/ha) and aging in 225 litres French oak barrels (33% new) for two years and 6 months in bottle respectively. Sassicaia has a great aging potential. The strange thing is that the wine, a few years ago, belonged to the lowest Italian wine class (Vino da Tavola) because the producer used/use, for the wine region of Tuscany, then unapproved grapes (85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc). Sassicaia began to be produced as early as 1948 as the family della Rocchetta’s house wine, but not before 1968, it began to be commercially sold. Today, the production is about 200,000 bottles.
