Sassicaia 2020

The Sassicaia 2020 (75 cl) confirms the exceptional quality and renowned elegance that have made this wine a global icon. Produced by Tenuta San Guido in Bolgheri, Tuscany, the blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (85%) and Cabernet Franc (15%) offers an extraordinary synthesis of power, refinement and longevity, fully reflecting the unique character of the vintage and the terroir.

Organoleptic characteristics

• Color : Intense ruby ​​red with garnet reflections, clear and brilliant.
• Aroma : Complex and seductive, with notes of ripe black fruit such as blackcurrant, blackberry and cherry, enriched by hints of sweet spices, black pepper, graphite and a subtle balsamic vein. Elegant floral and earthy nuances also emerge.
• Taste : Structured and harmonious, with velvety and well-integrated tannins. The lively acidity gives freshness and balance, while the finish is long and persistent, with a mix of fruit, spices and minerals that evolves beautifully on the palate.

The 2020 vintage was characterized by variable weather conditions: a mild spring followed by a hot and dry summer, with significant night-time temperature variations. This allowed the grapes to ripen optimally, ensuring an ideal balance between concentration, freshness and complexity.

Food pairings

Sassicaia 2020 is perfect with grilled red meats, game, braised meats and roasts. It also pairs beautifully with truffle dishes, aged cheeses and typical Tuscan recipes such as wild boar stew or Florentine steak.

Aging potential

With extraordinary structure and lively freshness, Sassicaia 2020 is a wine destined to evolve beautifully in the bottle for 20-30 years or more, expressing its complexity and depth at its best over time.

Another milestone for Tenuta San Guido, the 2020 Sassicaia expresses the essence of Bolgheri and continues to confirm its status as a masterpiece in the international wine scene.
