Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia
Description
Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia is a profound, highly prestigious Super Tuscan red wine from Italy's exclusive Bolgheri-Sassicaia DOC that beautifully captures the cellar-worthy elegance of its terroir by blending Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. On the nose, this characteristic Super Tuscan shows an expressive bouquet of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and cedar, seamlessly layered with notes of wild herbs, Mediterranean scrub, warm earth, and subtle minerality. The palate is full, serious, and beautifully balanced, offering a precise, elegant mid-palate texture with deep flavours of dried plum, graphite, and spice supported by assertive tannins and 24 months of French oak maturation that keeps its structure focused and powerful. The finish is long, dry, and highly satisfying, lingering on notes of dark fruit skins, savoury persistence, and classic Tuscan earthiness, making it a perfect pairing for roasted game, Florentine steak, aged hard cheeses, or wild boar ragu.
