Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC - Tenuta San Guido 2019

The Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC from Tenuta San Guido is a prestigious wine recognized worldwide, emblematic of Italian excellence in the international wine scene. This red wine is produced in the renowned area of Bolgheri, located on the Tuscan coast, famous for its ideal soil and microclimate conducive to high-quality viticulture.

Tenuta San Guido stands out for its meticulous approach in grape selection and winemaking, primarily using the Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grape varieties. Sassicaia undergoes fermentation in stainless steel followed by aging for about 24 months in French oak barriques, which contributes to giving the wine a complex and well-structured character.

Visually, Sassicaia presents an intense ruby red color, which tends towards garnet with aging. On the nose, it offers a rich and persistent bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruits such as currants and plums, enriched by spicy nuances and light touches of tobacco and dark chocolate due to the elegant aging in wood.

On the palate, it is a robust but balanced wine, with fine but well-present tannins, and a harmonious acidity that promises excellent aging potential. The finish is long and memorable, with an aftertaste that returns to the aromas experienced on the nose.

Ideal to be served at a temperature of 16-18°C, Sassicaia pairs perfectly with rich dishes such as roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses. This wine not only represents excellence in its category but is also a true investment for wine lovers, capable of evolving and improving over the years in the cellar.
