Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia [x] 2022

14% abv

Vol- 75cl

“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. I tasted this wine several times over the course of a few months, and it has already shown a happy evolution coming into slow focus like the faint colors that emerge from a Polaroid photograph. Indeed, the bouquet appeared more closed just a short while ago. 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. I am confident that this bottle will improve with time. It requires patience.”
97+ Points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

“The tannins are gentle and integrated even now… The frame is in place, and the density offset by a soft textural caress.”
96 points, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

“Deep, seductive, alluring aromatics packed full of musk, violets, tilled earth, black cherry, and saline crème de cassis notes with an incredibly precise purity.” He further emphasized its “tightly wound and taut” palate, supported by “chalky drying tannins.”
Greg Sherwood MW

Vintage Overview
The 2022 growing season in Bolgheri was characterized by warmer conditions, particularly towards the end. However, the unique microclimate of the Sassicaia vineyards, combined with strategic early harvesting in early September, allowed the estate to produce a wine of remarkable quality. The final blend comprises 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Cabernet Franc, with a modest alcohol level of 13.5%.

Quietly, elegantly and almost involuntarily, the Incisa della Rocchetta family set to release the wine that would revolutionise the Italian wine scene creating a totally new genre: the Super-Tuscan. Tenuta San Guido is now a legendary estate and was first planted in the 1940s by the Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, who noted the similarity between Bolgheri’s terroir and that of the Graves. When, in 1968, Sassicaia was finally commercially released, it took the fine wine world by storm.
