Having followed this wine's evolution in barrel for the past few years, it is an honor to evaluate the final product. This Sassicaia has blossomed since my previous encounters with it as a young, awkward adolescent. The long-awaited 2015 Bolgheri Sassicaia represents a tremendous effort that comes together with seamless precision and focus. This is a confident and proud red wine from Tuscany. Starting with the primary material at hand, you sense the quality of fruit thanks to the wine's beautifully dark appearance and the rich texture it offers to the palate. The acidity is integrated, but more freshness still would have been welcomed in my view (and would also contribute to its longevity). The bouquet is amplified both in terms of volume and length. Its playlist includes dark berry fruit, spice, leather, licorice and roasted coffee bean. Yet, the mouthfeel is extremely graceful and silky. The wine's undisputed pedigree is showcased on the palate. It should also be noted that this edition of Sassicaia feels more ready and open to me. It will age and evolve beautifully, but the 2015 Sassicaia can also be enjoyed in the medium-term. This wine is all about the here and now.

Rich and concentrated, this red features black currant, blackberry, violet, mineral and spice flavors. Dense yet lively, structured yet impeccably balanced, with vibrant acidity driving the long, fruit-filled aftertaste. The oak is beautifully integrated. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2042. 17,200 cases made.

Tenuta San Guido
Tenuta San Guido, la tenuta vinicola più emblematica d'Italia, ha accresciuto ulteriormente la propria fama grazie a una serie recente di ottime annate del più famoso vino del Paese, il Sassicaia. Fondata negli anni '40, la cantina mise in commercio il suo primo vino solo nel 1968. Nel 1985 Robert Parker ne riaffermò la fama, dando al Sassicaia del 1985 un punteggio perfetto e inserendo così la tenuta nella mappa del vino mondiale. Nel 1994 la tenuta fu la prima a ricevere la propria DOC, Bolgheri Sassicaia. Il riconoscimento vale per l'intera produzione: dalla seconda etichetta, Guidalberto, al terzo vino, Le Difese. Ogni vino è a modo suo unico ed emozionante.
