Bolgheri Sassicaia 2017, Tenuta San Guido
Full-bodied, warm, and deeply balsamic. 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 that are perfectly smooth and a noble freshness that ensures a longevity of rare distinction; persistent and enveloping finish.
Bolgheri Sassicaia 2017, Tenuta San Guido
The 2017 Sassicaia from Tenuta San Guido 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 absolute nobility, maintaining a surprising freshness thanks to the vineyards' privileged high-altitude location and masterful grape selection. On the nose, it is an ecstasy of sunny and balsamic complexity: notes of ripe blackberry, blackcurrant, and cherry merge with deep hints of Mediterranean scrub, dark chocolate, licorice, and a trace of graphite of extraordinary nobility.
