In a vintage characterized by significant heat and drought, Tenuta San Guido has once again proven why this estate is in a league of its own. This is a triumph of terroir and timing, delivering a wine of aristocratic elegance and surprising freshness that defies the season. While many 2022's from Bolgheri are opulent and broad, Sassicaia remains steadfastly classic. The estate's decisions to harvest early to preserve acidity has paid off distinctively. The nose is deep and introspective, offering a sophisticated blend of creme de cassis, wild blackberry, and dark plum, lifted by signature notes of Mediterranean herbs, cedar, graphite, and a touch of fresh mint. It possesses a dense core of fruit, yet it feels weightless and energetic, driven by a vibrant spine of acidity. The tannins are incredibly fine-grained and polished, providing a seamless structure that guides the wine to an exceptionally long, savory finish." - Orazio Campoli
