Bolgheri Sassicaia 2018, Tenuta San Guido
Profile of monumental finesse, vertical and deeply harmonious. On the nose, dark fruits, graphite, noble spices, and balsamic notes emerge. On the palate, it is vibrant and sculptural, characterized by very tight tannins and a noble freshness that ensures rare longevity; a perfect balance between grace and persistence.
Bolgheri Sassicaia 2018, Tenuta San Guido
The Sassicaia 2018 from Tenuta San Guido is a monument to sculptural nobility, a vintage celebrated for its extraordinary harmony and a return to a stylistic signature of absolute elegance. After the sun-drenched vigor of 2017, 2018 elevates the finesse of Cabernet to an absolute nobility, thanks to a cooler season that allowed a slow and masterful phenolic ripening. On the nose, it is an ecstasy of aristocratic complexity: notes of blackcurrant, morello cherry, and Mediterranean scrub blend with deep hints of graphite, white pepper, lavender, and a balsamic trace of eucalyptus of extraordinary nobility. On the palate, it is masterful: the entry is silky and vibrant, supported by a noble acidic backbone that gives impressive verticality, and sculpted tannins, extremely dense and of an aristocratic texture that caresses the palate with precision, closing on an endless, savory finish of absolute nobility.
