Sassicaia Tenuta San Guido 2021

From the legendary Tenuta San Guido, a Bolgheri icon and creator of the Super Tuscan concept, this 2021 Sassicaia is a wine that combines extraordinary elegance, freshness, and remarkable aging potential. The 2021 vintage was characterized by a climate that favored a slow and gradual ripening of the grapes, resulting in a wine with classic finesse and harmony, a pure expression of its terroir.

Produced 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 barriques. It presents a complex and layered bouquet of black cherry, red berries, notes of black pepper, cedar, and balsamic hints. On the palate, it is elegant and enveloping, with dense yet smooth tannins and a vibrant freshness that guarantees a long evolution over time. The finish is persistent and leaves an impression of great harmony and purity. It pairs magnificently with rich red meat dishes, game, and mature cheeses.
