Sassicaia 2021 – Tenuta San Guido – Bolgheri

The Sassicaia 2021 from Tenuta San Guido is one of Italy’s most iconic wines and a global benchmark among great terroir-driven red wines. Produced in the Bolgheri area on the Tuscan coast, it is considered the founding wine of the “Super Tuscan” category, blending Bordeaux grape varieties with a distinct Italian identity.

The Tenuta San Guido estate benefits from a unique terroir located between sea and hills, where stony soils rich in pebbles and limestone ensure excellent drainage.

On the palate, Sassicaia 2021 impresses with its natural elegance, perfectly defined structure and fine, tightly woven tannins. The overall profile is harmonious, deep, and driven by remarkable freshness that extends the finish with length and precision.

This Sassicaia 2021 has outstanding ageing potential and can evolve gracefully over several decades. It pairs beautifully with fine meats, game, roast lamb, or refined Italian dishes featuring truffles or mushrooms.

Tenuta San Guido is one of Italy’s most legendary estates and an absolute reference in the world of wine.
