Sassicaia Bolgheri Tuscany 750ml

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

Sassicaia Bolgheri Tuscany 750ml offers a refined, elegant experience perfect for special occasions or intimate dinners. With an ABV of 14%, this Italian red wine hails from the coastal vineyards of Bolgheri in Tuscany, where meticulous production methods and a unique terroir yield exceptional quality. Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Cabernet Franc, Sassicaia is celebrated for its balance and structure.

On the palate, Sassicaia reveals layers of blackcurrant, ripe cherry, cedar, and subtle tobacco notes intertwined with hints of Mediterranean herbs. Its velvety tannins and vibrant acidity make it an outstanding companion to roasted lamb or aged Parmesan cheese. The wine’s depth enhances the savory richness of lamb while its complexity beautifully complements the nutty intensity of Parmesan, creating a memorable dining experience.

Producer Information: Tenuta San Guido

Tenuta San Guido is based in the Bolgheri region of Tuscany, Italy, along the Tyrrhenian coast. The estate was established in the 1940s by Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, who sought to create a wine inspired by Bordeaux’s great châteaux. Tenuta San Guido pioneered the use of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc in an area traditionally dominated by Sangiovese, introducing innovative vineyard management and winemaking techniques that emphasized low yields and meticulous grape selection to achieve exceptional quality.

Beyond their flagship wine Sassicaia, Tenuta San Guido produces Guidalberto and Le Difese, which feature blends of Merlot and Sangiovese alongside Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate also manages olive groves for extra virgin olive oil production and maintains a focus on sustainable agriculture across its holdings. While primarily celebrated for its red wines, Tenuta San Guido’s broader portfolio reflects a commitment to terroir-driven products that highlight both international varietals and local Tuscan character.
