BOLGHERI SASSICAIA DOC "SASSICAIA" 2018 - TENUTA SAN GUIDO: WHY WE LIKE IT
Sassicaia is undoubtedly one of the most famous Italian wines in the world. It comes from a vineyard of 75 hectares particularly suitable, in which the parcels have different characteristics, with limestone formations and a high stony content, a peculiarity from which probably derives the toponym "sassicaia". The exposure of the land is to the west and south-west. The fermentation takes place in steel, at a controlled temperature, with maceration on the skins for about 10 days. The aging of Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC of Tenuta San Guido takes place in oak barrels French, for 24 months, with subsequent stop in the bottle.
TASTING NOTES
At the sight, the wine is intense ruby red. The nose is expressed on hints of ripe red fruits, berries and cola, aromatic herbs and toasted almonds. On the palate, the taste is austere, rich and compact. It shows a sustained body and good acid component. It progresses on notes of dried fruit, with a deep, persistent finish.
COMBINATIONS
Sassicaia goes deliciously with refined second courses based on red meats or game. Excellent with grilled meat, roasts and beef fillets or with traditional Tuscan dishes, based on wild boar.
