Red dry
Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC 2022 is one of the most prestigious Italian red wines, produced by the famous Tenuta San Guido winery in the Bolgheri region of Tuscany. This “Super Tuscan” style wine is made exclusively from grapes grown on the farm and is the only Italian wine with its own separate DOC appellation – Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC. The 2022 harvest was characterized by excellent ripeness and balance – this is an exclusive, collector’s version of Sassicaia with great longevity potential.
Aroma: delicate and complex – notes of dark berries, forest earth, cedar, licorice, tobacco and soft spices.
Taste: elegantly structured, rich in tannins, medium-bodied, long mineral aftertaste. Excellent balance of acidity and grape ripeness.
The grapes are carefully hand-picked, fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged for around 24 months in French oak barrels, some of which are new. Before being released, the wine rests in the bottle to reach its perfect point of harmony.
Plenty of red currant, cedar, iron and terra cotta aromas follow through to a medium to full body with graphite, sandalwood, red currants and fresh Mediterranean herbs such as thyme and rosemary. The tannins are chewy but polished in texture. This is a Sassicaia that needs three or four years of bottle age to come together and soften. A structured wine for the cellar. Try after 2029.
Tenuta San Guido is the result of a very long tradition and of an ethical message handed down from generation to generation. Over the years, the dedication and commitment to the company's activities have led to many successes: Sassicaia, in the wine sector, the Razza Dormello Olgiata, in the breeding of thoroughbred horses and the Rifugio Faunistico Padule di Bolgheri, for the protection of nature and wildlife.
