Opis smakowy
Sassicaia ma głęboki, intesywny rubinowy kolor. Elegancki i intensywny aromat czerwonych i czarnych owoców o niespotykanej głębi z świetnie zintegrowanymi nutami słodkawymi. W ustach wszystkie świetnie poukładane, złożone i eleganckie. Niesamowicie długie. Tego wina nie rozkłada się na czynniki - ono jest kompletne.
Proces produkcji

Robert Parker 97 pts:
This is a classic vintage of an Italian icon now celebrating its 50th vintage. The Tenuta San Guido 2018 Bolgheri Sassicaia lays out a familiar blueprint that borrows from the proven track record of this landmark estate that extends into the hills just beyond the Tyrrhenian shores of Tuscany. This vintage is crystalline and pure in its delivery, and if you are familiar with previous editions, it is impossible to mistake this wine for anything but Sassicaia.

Beautiful, serene aromas of sweet berries and wild flowers with light lavender and fresh sage. Really aromatic. A firm, silky red with medium to full body and ultra fine tannins that are polished and beautiful. Lots of blue fruit and blackberries follow through to a beautiful finish. Really tight and polished. Bright acidity. Will be lovely to drink in a few years. The 2017 and 2016 were about power, but the 2018 is about finesse and subtlety. Try after 2024.
