The Sassicaia 2020 from Tenuta San Guido is a wine that embodies the quintessence of the prestigious Bolgheri terroir. This full-bodied red, with an alcohol content of 14%, is a sublime interpretation of Cabernet Sauvignon, enhanced by a small percentage of Cabernet Franc. Upon opening, the bouquet bursts forth with an explosion of ripe berry aromas, notes of black cherry and currant, wrapped in an elegant backdrop of sweet spices and earthy undertones.
The palate reveals a structured body, with silky tannins and impeccable balance that guides you through a complexity of flavors. Hints of vanilla and tobacco blend seamlessly with notes of aromatic herbs, making each taste a multisensory experience. The finish is long and persistent, evoking the essence of a region rich in history and winemaking tradition.
Perfect for pairing with red meat dishes such as a beef roast or oven-baked lamb, the Sassicaia 2020 is also suitable for moments of contemplation, to be sipped alongside good dark chocolate or aged cheeses. Ideal to uncork now or to age for decades, this wine is a true collectible treasure.
