Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2023 Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC

Sassicaia 2023 from Tenuta San Guido is a dense, concentrated ruby red. The nose shows blackberry, blackcurrant, cola and aromatic herbs, needing air to open fully. The palate is rich and compact, with tannins already well integrated from maturation in French oak barriques, and an underlying acidity that promises long life. The finish is persistent and deep. Fermentation takes place in steel at controlled temperature with about ten days of skin maceration, followed by 24 months in French oak barriques and further bottle ageing. It suits Florentine steak, venison roast, wild boar ragù pappardelle and aged pecorino.
