Tasting note
Tenuta San Guido's 2022 Sassicaia should offer Cabernet Sauvignon aromas of cassis, dark cherry and cedar, joined by savory herbs. Bolgheri Sassicaia fruit is expected to feel firm yet refined, tannins giving the palate structure and acidity drawing out the ripe flavors. The peak interval runs from 2028 through 2046, within a drinking span reaching 2054. A long finish should reveal dark berry, spice and earthy notes with composed persistence.
