2015 Tenuta San Guido "Sassicaia" Bolgheri 0,75 lt
The 2015 Tenuta San Guido "Sassicaia" was a very hot vintage and produced a bolder, riper style of wine, which was much loved and appreciated by wine critics and collectors alike, but for Tenuta San Guido themselves, it was less typically Sassicaia and a little less elegant and reserved than their preferred style. However, it is a wine with a lot of charm. It is big, bold and full bodied with aromas of toast and cream and plenty of ripe blackberries. The vineyards are in the unique DOC Bolgheri Sassicaia area, known for its ideal soil and microclimate. This vintage has received high praise, earning 98 points from James Suckling, 97 points from Decanter & Wine Advocate and 95 points Vinous. Sassicaia, first produced in 1968, is celebrated as one of the greatest Italian wines of the century.
