Wines from Tenuta San Guido

Producer: Tenuta San Guido
Wine: Sassicaia 2005
Region: Tuscany Country: Italy
Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc
Tasting notes: "The 2005 Sassicaia is another strong effort from Tenuta San Guido. Medium in body, it reveals an understated, delicate expression of smoke, herbs, tobacco and sweet dark fruit. The wine possesses compelling harmony and a gorgeous sense of inner perfume that flows from start to finish. This is an outstanding showing in a very challenging vintage. Sassicaia is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, with a small amount of Cabernet Franc. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025." 93pts Parker

Producer: Tenuta San Guido
Wine: Sassicaia 2007
Region: Tuscany Country: Italy
Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc
Tasting notes: “Sassicaia could be described as Italy’s answer to Bordeaux, but we prefer to see it as Italy’s answer to the world! We think Sassicaia is one of the greatest wine creations of our century. It also happens to be a simply marvellous drink”. - Serena Sutcliffe MW and David Peppercorn MW, Italy's Answer to the World


This is a stunning achievement and displays all the finesse and elegance which one has come to expect from this renowned estate. An exceptional terroir in Bolgheri, composed of a myriad of different soil types, and a meticulous approach in the vineyard and cellar, create wines with incredible distinction, elegance and individuality. According to James Suckling, Wine Spectator’s Italian expert, Sassicaia "is never overdone or exaggerated. The wines always shows subtlety and reserve." 2007 is no exception but it is also a very special vintage and will be regarded as one of the finest wines ever made at the estate. Drink 2018-2040.
