Tenuta San Guido, the birthplace of Sassicaia, the original Super Tuscan, crafts wines from vineyards rooted in Bolgheri's gravelly soils, where southwest-facing slopes and maritime breezes foster ideal ripening conditions. In 2022, despite a hot and dry summer, they produced a Sassicaia marked by elegance and purity, a testament to their meticulous hand-harvesting, natural yeast fermentation, and aging in French oak. This vintage is a departure from sheer power, emphasizing freshness and longevity. It opens with an expressive nose of ripe red fruits—plum, cherry, and blackberry—intertwined with nuanced notes of menthol, dark spice, and blue florals. The palate, elegantly streamlined, delivers a harmonious blend of ripe blackberry, wild cherry, licorice, and mint, supported by a backbone of refined tannins and vibrant acidity, promising exceptional aging potential for decades to come. Pair with Rib-eye Fiorentina, braised lamb shoulder ragu, or an eggplant parmesan.
