Sassicaia Tenuta San Guido 2023

The Sassicaia is the Italian wine most renowned in the world, the quintessence of balance in terms of body and complexity. It is a red that represents at the same time the flagship of Italian winemaking, the milestone for the excellences that followed and the keystone of the enological renaissance of the area. It was born from the ingenuity of Mario Incisa della Rocchetta who, already in the 1920s, dreamed of creating a noble wine, thoroughbred like the horses he owned at that time in his stable. He thus decided to plant Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc grapes in the Tenuta San Guido, due to the similarity he noticed between these lands and the Bordeaux area: stony and gravelly soils, just like a "Sassicaia".

The Sassicaia Tenuta San Guido, also thanks to the precious contribution of the oenologist  Giacomo Tachis, it has become the symbol of a winemaking production of the highest quality, known and appreciated all over the world, a cultural symbol like the hand of the master of Italian winemaking who has caressed it for a long time. And it will highlight all the great occasions and sumptuous dinners, but sipped in pleasant solitude and meditation, it will amaze you like no other. The grapes come from one of the most famous company crus, composed of a mosaic of natural elements. The unique conformation of the soil, the exposure to the west, southwest and the altitude of 100-300 meters have created the perfect cradle to let this prestigious wine treasure germinate.

The Bolgheri Sassicaia is a sumptuous red, with a precious ruby mantle, like the stone that gives it its color. The nose is enchanted by notes of ripe cherries, blackberries, black currants, rosemary, lavender, raspberry leaves and herbaceous world, all accompanied by a hint of elegant oak notes and slight hints of pipe tobacco. On the palate, it is appreciated for its intensity, the vigor of the harsh territory from which it comes, and a perfectly woven texture of freshness and sapidity. Engaging: an expression to listen to and with intense nuances. It loves time and does not fear it, in fact, it expresses at its best the history it holds within itself with aging. It is a  masterpiece of the rugged land of Bolgheri, unique and with  ample evolutions; it is even the only one to have a reserved denomination regulation. An extraordinary excellence, daughter of a historic and symbolic winery of the Italian wine world! Number one
