Sassicaia 2002

Sassicaia 2002 presents itself as an elegant and balanced wine that, despite the challenging vintage, bears the classic signature of the Tenuta San Guido winery. The color is a medium ruby red, showing slight signs of ripeness. The nose unfolds a complex bouquet with notes of red and dark berries, accompanied by delicate hints of herbs, tobacco, and subtle mineral nuances. On the palate, the wine impresses with its fine structure, well-integrated tannins, and harmonious acidity that provides freshness. The fruit aromas, especially cherry and black currant, are complemented by delicate spicy notes and a hint of earth. The finish is medium to long, characterized by a pleasant balance between fruit and spicy components. This vintage may not possess the opulence of other vintages, but it displays remarkable finesse and drinking pleasure, especially for lovers of mature wines.
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.
