Sassicaia Tenuta San Guido 2016

From the legendary Tenuta San Guido, a Bolgheri icon and a pioneer in the world of Super Tuscan wines, this 2016 Sassicaia is a masterpiece of balance, power, and finesse. The 2016 vintage is universally recognized as one of the finest ever, characterized by ideal climate conditions that allowed the grapes to reach perfect ripeness, resulting in a wine that combines extraordinary aromatic intensity with elegant structure and exceptional longevity.

Made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes, with an alcohol content of 14%, the wine has been aged for 24 months in French oak barrels. It presents a layered and seductive bouquet of black cherry, berries, tobacco, graphite, cedar, and a touch of balsamic. On the palate, it is powerful and deep, yet refined and elegant, with dense, silky tannins and a vibrant freshness that guarantees a long evolution over time. The finish is extraordinarily long and leaves an impression of harmony and purity. It pairs magnificently with rich red meat dishes, game, and mature cheeses.
