Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2019

The Sassicaia 2019 by Tenuta San Guido, one of the most prestigious wines of Tuscany, is famous for its elegance and complexity. Born in the Bolgheri vineyards on particularly rocky soils, this wine is the result of a careful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (85%) and Cabernet Franc (15%). The 2019 harvest stood out for its favorable climatic conditions which allowed excellent ripening of the grapes.

After fermentation, the wine matured for 25 months in French oak barriques, a third of which were new, following a tradition that aims to balance aromatic intensity and structural complexity. Sassicaia 2019 shows an intense ruby red color and garnet nuances. On the nose it offers a rich and varied bouquet with notes of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, light nuances of tobacco and a balsamic touch.

On the palate it is rich and well structured, with silky and well integrated tannins that promise long aging. The notes of fruit and spices blend into a long and persistent finish. This wine represents an excellent choice for collectors and wine lovers who appreciate a high quality Tuscan red, capable of evolving and improving over the years.
