Sassicaia 2015 – Wine of the year by Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2015

Sassicaia 2015 is a full-bodied Supertuscan red wine from the Bolgheri sub-region of Tuscany, central Italy. Sassicaia is the flagship of Tenuta San Guido and an icon of Italian wine. The typical blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (85%) and Cabernet Franc (15%) aged for 24 months in French oak barriques is characterised by all the hallmarks which have established this wine as one of Italy’s icons.

” Love the aromas to this young red with blackcurrants, sage, cinnamon and five-spice character. Changes all the time. Full-bodied, dense and powerful with a ripe and rich tannin backbone that gives form and beauty to the ripe and beautiful fruit. Tight and very long. Approachable now but will reward more in five to six years. A classic Sassicaia.” James Suckling, 2018
