Sassicaia 2021 Vintage Overview

2021 OVERVIEW

Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2021 glides from vivid redcurrant and cassis into layers of dark berries, cedar and gentle spice, all wrapped in sleek, finely woven tannins. The palate is concentrated yet graceful, with lively acidity giving lift to notes of tobacco leaf, cocoa and dried herbs, finishing long, poised and deeply refined. A beautifully balanced, classic Sassicaia with impressive energy and aging potential.

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.
