Sassicaia 2004 Vintage Overview

2004 OVERVIEW

Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2004 marries ripe blackcurrant and blackberry with layers of dark cherry, cocoa, cedar and gentle tobacco, touched by herbs and a refined mineral edge. The palate is concentrated yet poised, with silky, persistent tannins and a long, graceful finish that still promises further complexity in the bottle.

About Sassicaia

Sassicaia by Tenuta San Guido is an iconic Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC red, a Bordeaux-style blend of mainly Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc grown on gravelly, rocky soils that inspired its name. First released commercially with the 1968 vintage, it helped define the “Super Tuscan” category, offering a refined, ageworthy profile that marries blackcurrant, cedar and mineral notes with elegant tannins and vibrant coastal freshness.
