Sassicaia

2006 Bolgheri Sassicaia Red Blend

The Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2006 is a masterful red blend that emanates sophistication with its deep ruby color. This iconic wine hails from the prestigious Bolgheri Sassicaia region, known for its unique terroir that beautifully influences the character of its varietals. On the palate, it showcases a medium-bodied structure, seamlessly balanced with vibrant acidity that enlivens the taste experience. The wine's fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of dark berries, blackcurrants, and subtle hints of plum intertwined with earthy tones. The tannins are notable yet refined, providing a solid backbone that holds the wine's complexity together, while its dryness enhances the overall elegance. This exceptional vintage exemplifies why Sassicaia remains a benchmark of quality in the world of fine wine.
