Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2022
1969 witnessed the debut of Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia, a wine that at the time, broke away from the standard way of making Tuscan Wine and garnered international acclaim. The name "Sassicaia" meaning "place of many stones," reflects the stony soil which it comes from, reminiscent of the Médoc region in France. Since its inception Sassicaia has become recognised as one of the world's finest Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Notably, Tenuta San Guido made history by being the first single wine to be granted its own Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) status. The wines of Tenuta San Guido are celebrated for their intense notes of cassis, coupled with a cedary elegance, and are renowned for their extraordinary power and length. This combination of factors has solidified Tenuta San Guido's position as a pinnacle of quality and prestige in the world of fine wine. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc the wine was placed in French oak barriques and a small part in American oak, where it was aged for a period between 20 and 25 months.
