Bolgheri Sassicaia 2017 MG, Tenuta San Guido
Voluminous, warm, and deeply balsamic profile. On the nose, ripe black fruits, sweet spices, Mediterranean scrub, and graphite emerge. On the palate, it is powerful and velvety, characterized by sculpted tannins perfectly smoothed and a noble freshness that, thanks to the Magnum format, ensures a harmony of rare nobility; the finish is long-lasting and enveloping.
Bolgheri Sassicaia 2017 MG, Tenuta San Guido
The 2017 Sassicaia from Tenuta San Guido, in this impressive Magnum format, is a monument to sculptural nobility and the agronomic expertise of the estate. In a vintage marked by extreme heat and drought, San Guido managed to elevate Cabernet to an absolute nobility, maintaining surprising freshness thanks to the privileged position of the vineyards at higher altitudes. The Magnum format proved providential, protecting the fruit's flesh and allowing the tannins to develop into a masterful silkiness. On the nose, it is an ecstasy of sunny and balsamic complexity: notes of ripe blackberry, blackcurrant, and cherry blend with deep hints of Mediterranean scrub, dark chocolate, licorice, and a trace of graphite of extraordinary nobility.
