Bouquet beautiful fruit profile with fresh blackberry, tart cherry and Mediterranean tones of blue rosemary blooms and lavender sachet. |

Flavour balanced and tense, delivering flavors of ripe blackberry, wild cherry, licorice and mint. It’s still quite tight and youthfully austere, with a backbone of firm, refined tannins and fresh acidity. |

Tenuta San Guido, the birthplace of Sassicaia—the original Super Tuscan—produces wines from vineyards set in Bolgheri’s gravel-rich soils. Here, southwest-facing slopes and cooling maritime breezes create optimal conditions for grape ripening. In 2022, despite a hot, dry summer, the estate crafted a Sassicaia of remarkable elegance and purity, reflecting their commitment to hand-harvesting, fermentation with native yeasts, and careful aging in French oak.
