Bolgheri DOC Sassicaia – Tenuta San Guido

Tenuta San Guido’s Bolgheri Sassicaia is a red wine of great prestige. It shows an intense ruby red color and garnet reflections. On the nose, it offers a complex and enveloping bouquet, with aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherries and currants, accompanied by notes of spices, black pepper, tobacco, leather and a hint of eucalyptus. There are also subtle mineral and fine wood nuances. On the palate, it’s structured and powerful, with elegant, well-integrated tannins. The lively acidity balances the richness of the wine, creating a harmonious and complex balance. The finish is long and persistent, with notes of ripe fruit, spices and a slight minerality. Aged in French oak barrels and further in the bottle, Bolgheri Sassicaia has considerable aging potential. It goes perfectly with rich dishes such as roasts, game and aged cheeses.
