Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2017 DOCG 0.75l

Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2017 DOCG 0.75l is a wine born on the frontier between the sea and the Tuscan "macchia," in Bolgheri, where the rows breathe the sea breeze and the stone compresses time, offering a stylistic signature that intertwines power, elegance, and a subtle minerality typical of this land. The history of Tenuta San Guido is a milestone in Italian winemaking heritage: led by the Incisa della Rocchetta family, the estate has transformed an interdisciplinary territory into a forge of wines capable of telling the story of a coast that looks towards the Mediterranean while also recalling Bordeaux models; Sassicaia has grown to represent a philosophy of quality that prioritizes the balance between tannic structure, aromatic depth, and spontaneous freshness. Production philosophy: minimal but precise intervention, carefully managed vineyards, contained yields, selected harvests, fermentations in temperature-controlled containers, and prolonged aging in French oak; Time in the barrel provides silky texture, complex aromas of black fruits, chocolate, graphite, and pepper, and a dynamic that allows for development in the glass. Distinctive elements: Sassicaia stands out for the consistency between gustatory power and finesse, a saline tension that accompanies the sweetness of the fruit, ripe but velvety tannins, and a persistence that evolves with age; It is a wine capable of transcending seasons and offering new interpretations with every sip. Sassicaia is the heart of Tenuta San Guido's offering, guiding its identity along with other references that share the same DNA of terroir and care; It is the flagship of the estate, a link between tradition and modernity. On the nose, blackberries, blackcurrants, a note of cocoa and graphite emerge, in balance with delicate spices and a veil of violet; On the palate, the texture is rich yet smooth, with a structure that supports a length reminiscent of the Maremma coast and an elegant finish that leaves room for a slight minerality. Final STELT phrase: In this light, Sassicaia 2017 fits into the STELT positioning as an authentic and profound expression of the territory, a wine destined to age with dignity and to offer complex insights to those who know how to seek them.
