Complex aromas and flavors of black currant, blackberry, iron, sweet tobacco and Mediterranean herbs are the hallmarks of this elegant, tensile red, which is already revealing plenty, yet still feels reserved, as though there were many more facets to be discovered. Superb harmony and freshness prevail, ending with a long aftertaste. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2045. 23,300 cases made, 5,300 cases imported.

The Tenuta San Guido 2020 Bolgheri Sassicaia speaks to those who seek a more voluptuous, opulent and, ultimately, more accessible wine. This vintage is a precise reflection of Coastal Tuscany, as opposed to a more generic "Tuscan" wine from elsewhere in this large central Italian region. You taste the ripeness and soft fruit weight that comes from a coastal appellation with especially bright luminosity and warm Mediterranean offshore breezes. Sassicaia from the cool vintages is a famously reticent or withholding wine in its earliest years, requiring a long lead time before it eases into an ideal drinking window. That's definitely not the case here. This wine is beautiful and compelling straight out of the gate, showing a lovely mix of dark fruit, oak spice, balanced freshness, textural richness, soft tannins and an expertly contained 14% alcohol content. The wine's immediate character is what distinguishes this vintage, and I wouldn't get too fussed by exaggerated cellar-aging ambitions. The wine awards sheer pleasure in its current form, with dazzling primary fruit and soaring intensity over the near and medium term.

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.
