Parker about Sassicaia 2012
Tenuta San Guido's newest release is the 2012 Bolgheri Sassicaia. This was a warm vintage, especially during summer months that saw hot winds and little rain. Thankfully, winter months delivered ample precipitation. Vines had good access to moisture underground. Production of the lower-tier wines was reduced: Le Difese was cut by 40% and Guidalberto by 30%. But Sassicaia's production numbers remained stable at 200,000 bottles because all the estate's best fruit was directed toward this product. Fruit was harvested a bit early to avoid problems with over ripeness. The wine presents a soft, velvety mouthfeel with plump cherry, fruity berry, blue flower and spice. Perhaps it shows more simplicity overall, but it does so with an impressive sense of harmony and confidence. This is not one of the great vintages of Sassicaia, but the wine flaunts its considerable pedigree nonetheless. It should age gracefully for twenty years or more.

Sassicaia 2012
The 2012 vintage in Tuscany was characterized by ideal conditions. The year featured a balanced growing season with warm days and cool nights, leading to slow and even ripening of the grapes. This enabled the development of wines with great concentration, depth, and elegance.
Sassicaia 2012 presents itself with a deep ruby red color, which indicates its concentration and maturity. On the nose, it unfolds a complex bouquet of ripe dark fruits such as blackcurrants, cherries, and blackberries. These aromas are accompanied by notes of spices, cedarwood, tobacco, and a subtle floral nuance.
On the palate, the wine displays impressive structure with ripe, silky tannins and remarkable balance. Sassicaia 2012 is a full-bodied and powerful wine with remarkable complexity. The fruity aromas continue, accompanied by nuances of chocolate, coffee, herbs, and a subtle mineral presence.
This vintage has excellent aging potential and is still in its early stages of development. The wine will gain complexity and depth with increasing bottle age.
Sassicaia 2012 is a first-class wine that embodies the elegance, finesse, and expressiveness of Tuscan wines. It pairs perfectly with aged beef, game dishes, or strong cheeses.
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.
