Sassicaia 2019 – Tenuta San Guido – Bolgheri

The Sassicaia 2019 from Tenuta San Guido is one of the most accomplished expressions of this legendary wine, considered the ultimate icon of the Bolgheri region in Tuscany. The first “Super Tuscan” in history, Sassicaia marked a major turning point in Italian winemaking by combining Bordeaux grape varieties with a Mediterranean identity.

The estate benefits from a unique terroir, located between sea and hills, where soils of pebbles, gravel and limestone ensure perfect drainage. The climate, influenced by the nearby sea, allows for slow and even ripening of the grapes, promoting balance, finesse and aromatic complexity.

The 2019 vintage stands out for its precision and harmony. The nose reveals elegant aromas of cassis, black cherry and ripe red fruits, complemented by notes of cedar, blond tobacco, sweet spices and a characteristic balsamic touch typical of Sassicaia’s style.

On the palate, the wine impresses with its natural elegance, perfectly defined structure and fine, tightly woven tannins. The overall profile is harmonious, deep, and supported by a beautiful freshness that extends the finish with length and precision.

This Sassicaia 2019 has outstanding ageing potential and can evolve gracefully over several decades. It pairs ideally with fine meats, game, roast lamb, or refined Italian dishes featuring truffles or mushrooms.
