Parker about Sassicaia 2022
The Tenuta San Guido 2022 Bolgheri Sassicaia reveals a beautiful fruit profile with fresh blackberry, tart cherry and Mediterranean tones of blue rosemary blooms and lavender sachet. I tasted this wine several times over the course of a few months, and it has already shown a happy evolution coming into slow focus like the faint colors that emerge from a Polaroid photograph. Indeed, the bouquet appeared more closed just a short while ago. The wine's strongest suit is its elegantly streamlined mouthfeel and its contained 13.5% alcohol content. These qualities add to the silky cleanness of the mouthfeel and the accessible freshness of this vintage. I am confident that this bottle will improve with time. It requires patience.

Suckling over Sassicaia 2022
Plenty of red currant, cedar, iron and terra cotta aromas follow through to a medium to full body with graphite, sandalwood, red currants and fresh Mediterranean herbs such as thyme and rosemary. The tannins are chewy but polished in texture. This is a Sassicaia that needs three or four years of bottle age to come together and soften. A structured wine for the cellar.

Sassicaia 2022

Der Sassicaia 2022 verbindet subtile Aromatik mit klarer Struktur. In der Nase zeigen sich präzise Noten dunkler Beeren, begleitet von feinen Kräuter- und Zedernholznuancen sowie einem Hauch Graphit. Am Gaumen wirkt er kühl und fokussiert, mit straffer Säure und feinkörnigen Tanninen, die eine elegante, lineare Textur formen. Der Ausbau in Barriques ist perfekt integriert und stützt die Frucht, ohne sie zu dominieren. Der Abgang ist lang, mineralisch und von bemerkenswerter Klarheit. Noch zurückhaltend, aber mit dem Potenzial, über viele Jahre an Tiefe und Komplexität zu gewinnen.
Tenuta San Guido
Information about the winemaker:
What kind of winery are we talking about when we talk about San Guido and why is it so special? The history of San Guido can be traced back to the 1940s. The estate was founded by Mario Incisa della Rochetta, who was considered a visionary of his kind at the time. His descendants continue to run the winery extremely successfully and consistently stick to the methods of their predecessors, which certainly contributes significantly to the success of the wine. The Sassicaia has been imitated again and again over the years. However, no other producer has succeeded in copying the noble drop, because: The Sassicaia is unique.
