Description

Tenuta San Guido
In the 1940's, a project of passion was born when the truly visionary Marachese Mario Incisa Della Rochetta realised the vast potential of Bordeaux varities in Bolgheri a coastal area of Tuscany previously unknowne for its wine production. The project was honed over 20 years and only shared with close friends and neighbours at the time. However the great quality on display could not be kept a secret forever and eventaully under immense presure from their peers the family released the first commercial vintage of Sassicaia in 1968. Since then, allocated and acclaim have followed on of the most profound Cabernet dominant wines in the world to become the flagship Super Tuscan, and arguably Italy's most important wine.

The nose opens up with brooding blackcurrant fruit, a hint of cocoa and fresh capsicum in the background yet with a floral overtone; this is promisingly expressive for such a young wine and already showing some complexity. It is followed by absolutely fabulous volume and power on the mid palate, yet it remains beautifully elegant and delicate on the superb, long finish.

95 Points -Wine Spectator-Ripe black cherry and blackberry flavours pick up rosemary, mineral and spice accents in this red, which is concentrated and intense, fresh and focused. Racy midpalate this leans toward black currants and cedar notes on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2017 through 2030.
