The wine

Description and technical sheet

The Sassicaia is the latest vintage of the iconic wine from Tenuta San Guido, a pioneer of great Tuscan reds inspired by Bordeaux. First created in the 1960s by Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, Sassicaia has become one of Italy’s most celebrated wines worldwide. The Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC, a denomination reserved exclusively for this wine, highlights its uniqueness and strong connection to the estate’s terroir, nestled between the hills and the sea of the Maremma in Tuscany. The 2001 vintage, shaped by a warm but well-managed climate, yielded healthy and concentrated grapes, carefully vinified. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and a small percentage of Cabernet Franc is aged for about 25 months in French oak barriques. Sassicaia continues the legacy of elegance, longevity, and finesse that has made it a benchmark among great Italian wines.

Sassicaia Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC – Tenuta San Guido: Tasting Notes

Deep, bright ruby red. On the nose, it reveals an elegant and layered bouquet: blackcurrant, ripe cherry, violet, delicate spices, sweet tobacco, and subtle balsamic notes. The palate is refined, with silky tannins, lively freshness, and impressive depth, yet already approachable. The finish is long and savoury, echoing fruit and spice with great harmony and aging potential.
