KING OF SUPER TUSCAN
Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia is a legendary winery located in the Bolgheri region of Tuscany, Italy. The winery was founded by Mario Incisa della Rocchetta in the 1940s, who was inspired by the Bordeaux-style wines he had tasted while living in France. Sassicaia is considered one of the world's greatest wines and is often referred to as the "Super Tuscan" wine. It was originally produced as a private wine for the family and was not commercially available until the 1960s.
Sassicaia is one of the greatest wine creations of the century. It also happens to be simply wonderful to drink. May it thrive through the new millennium. The 1968 vintage saw the debut of Sassicaia, a courageous wine that at the time, broke away from the standard way of making Tuscan Wine. The wine is named after the stony soil which it comes from, and, by its nature, is destined to go far.
TASTING NOTE:
The 2022 vintage was shaped by a hot, dry growing season in Bolgheri, with a mild winter, below-average rainfall, and a warm spring interrupted by a brief cold snap. Intense summer heat was mitigated by mid-August rains, which restored soil moisture and ensured balanced grape ripening. Careful vineyard management and selective hand-harvesting preserved the grapes’ acidity and phenolic maturity, resulting in a wine that balances concentration with freshness. The Tenuta San Guido 2022 Bolgheri Sassicaia reveals a beautiful fruit profile with fresh blackberry, tart cherry and Mediterranean tones of blue rosemary blooms and lavender sachet. The wine's strongest suit is its elegantly streamlined mouthfeel and its contained 13.5% alcohol content. These qualities add to the silky cleanness of the mouthfeel and the accessible freshness of this vintage.
FOOD PAIRING:
Sassicaia 2022 pairs beautifully with Tuscan classics like Chianina beef tagliata, game, or roasted meats. Its vibrant acidity and refined tannins also complement rich dishes like roasted squash or root vegetables.
