Tenuta San Guido
Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc
Bolgheri Sassicaia, Livorno, Tuscany, Italy
Fresh violets, black cherries half-cooked, near prunes, strong fresh cut hay, blackberry reduced and fortified, chopped oak, cedar, mushroom coffee. Chewy beauty spills red and black cherries across the palate. Light sarsaparilla tones enhance a complex array of thyme, oregano, herbs de Provence, espresso that turns rose tea. Rich with power and resonance that literally won’t quit!

Began in 1944, Mario Incisa acquired Cab Sauv & Franc vine cuttings, planted them on San Guido estate, called Castiglioncello, Sassicaia, "the place of many stones". A blend of 85% Cab Sauv, 15% Cab Franc. Aromas of black fruits & complex spice aromas. On the palate ripe black fruits, with flavors of cedar, vanilla spice, leather and cacao, a powerhouse. Fine soft tannins. silky smooth ending with slight earthy espresso character. Tastes great and has room to continue aging!

Likely just beginning to show, powerful but also finessed, dried red roses, cherries, currants, tobacco, leather, cigar box and spices with silky tannins.
