About This Wine
Sassicaia means “the place of many stones,” and refers to the region’s gravel soil. All the vineyards located in different altitudes and exposures benefit from extensive sun and maritime breezes. Grapes are handpicked, destemmed and crushed before fermenting with natural yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged in French oak barriques, then refined in bottle before release. Sassicaia’s success prompted the Italian government to grant the wine its own appellation, Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC, beginning with the 1994 vintage.
Tasting Notes
The 2022 Sassicaia from Tenuta San Guido is a refined and elegant Super Tuscan that showcases the estate's hallmark style of finesse and balance. Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Cabernet Franc, it offers vibrant notes of dark berries, cassis, and subtle herbs, layered with graphite, cedar, and a hint of spice. The palate is structured yet silky, with fine tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish, reflecting both the vintage’s freshness and the wine’s aging potential.
