Bolgheri Sassicaia - Tenuta San Guido 1996
The Estate
The passion that fuels Tenuta San Guido has developed under the guidance of a good star that encompasses centuries of history. Tradition and culture are the roots of their brand. The estate that is the origin of the famous Sassicaia, the 'Super Tuscan' Sassicaia is now considered the highest expression of Italian winemaking, for the level achieved and its consistent quality, the result of many years of research on a terroir - Bolgheri, on the coast of Maremma - and a grape variety, Cabernet Sauvignon, which has made its founder a true pioneer of quality wine production in Italy.

Tasting: a late year, with grape maturation after August 15 and harvests postponed to early October. The wine presents a bright and intense ruby color, as well as incredibly vivid aromas, both balsamic and rich, with notes of red fruit jam and hints of underbrush. The palate is lively and elegant, still very young, with excellent acidity and a subtle yet long finish. |
