Tenuta San Guido Bolgheri Sassicaia 2019

Tenuta San Guido Bolgheri Sassicaia is an absolute excellence, the only wine in Italy to have earned a specific DOC designation: Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC.
This wine with its enveloping, intense and exciting character is a true oenological legend.
It is the best known in the world as it perfectly embodies balance in terms of body and complexity.
It is produced on the Tenuta San Guido estate, which with its unique, impervious terrain, limestone formations and high stony content (hence the name 'sassicaia') has created the perfect conditions for this treasure of oenology to germinate.

The name of the estate where Tenuta San Guido Bolgheri Sassicaia is produced comes from San Guido della Gherardesca, who lived in the 13th century. It is a historic winery in the Bolgheri area, located along the Etruscan coast in the Maremma.
The idea of planting vines in this area originated with Mario Incisa della Ricchetta who, fascinated by Bordeaux, dreamed of creating his wine in 1920. This Bordeaux-style red is made from 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc grapes.
