Sassicaia 2018 Vintage Overview

2018 OVERVIEW

Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2018 shows classical poise, layering red and blue berries with cedar, gentle herbs and a touch of tobacco over a finely etched, medium-full palate. Silky yet tightly woven tannins and vivid acidity give the wine lift and precision, promising even greater nuance with time in 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.
