Tenuta San Guido is much better known by the name of its most famous wine..... Sassicaia. It is located in the Tuscan region of Maremma, and is has its own single-estate DOC appellation (Bolgheri Sassicaia) applied to its flagship label.
Sassicaia, one of the original Super Tuscan wines, is made up of Cabernet Sauvignon with a small amount of Cabernet Franc. It is known for its supple texture, elegance and perfume.
The grapes that go into Sassicaia are picked just before they reach full ripeness, which contributes to finesse and fragrance as well as a lower alcohol levels. After two weeks' fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is aged for around 24 months in French oak barrels of which around 20 percent of which are new.

Wine Spectator | 1987 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia Magnum Delicate and clean with pure focused and direct raspberry black cherry and black currant flavors. Quite elegant and of medium body featuring some mineral and tar notes on the medium-intense finish. Delicious. |
