Sassicaia 2020 : A Benchmark Super Tuscan

The Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2020 is a distinguished red wine from Italy's Bolgheri region in Tuscany. Renowned as a benchmark "Super Tuscan," this wine exemplifies the region's innovative spirit and commitment to excellence.

This vintage is crafted from a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine matures for over 25 months in French oak barriques, with a combination of new and used barrels, followed by bottle aging prior to release.

The 2020 Sassicaia presents a deep ruby color. On the nose, it offers complex aromas of blackberry jam, gravel, spice, new leather, licorice, and crème de cassis. The palate is bold and expansive, featuring potent tannins that are nearly enveloped by the intense fruit flavors. This vintage showcases a harmonious balance between power and elegance, with a lingering, fresh finish. The 2020 Sassicaia has received high acclaim from wine critics: Vinous (Antonio Galloni) awarded it 97 points, and Wine Spectator (Bruce Sanderson) also gave it 97 points.

This wine pairs excellently with rich dishes such as braised meats, osso buco, and aged hard cheeses, enhancing the dining experience with its depth and complexity.
