2007 Sassicaia
By Tenuta San Guido
2007 Sassicaia from Tenuta San Guido

The Clay loam soils and maritime influence of the Bolgheri subregion has crafted an iconic wine, a testament to a vintage that, in one of Italy's most renowned vineyards, touched unprecedented heights.
Elegant signature of Tenuta San Guido
In 2007, Mother Nature was particularly generous to Tuscany's prized vines. A warm and dry summer, followed by well-orchestrated rains, endowed us with the strikingly aromatic and tastefully balanced ideal grape blend - Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
San Guido's artisanal excellence takes virtuosic form in this Sassicaia, where sultry black fruits merge with subtle hints of eucalyptus and Mediterranean herbs, conjuring an intense whiskey barrel allure. Retracing the stellar legacy of the '97s richness, this vintage revisits its depth with grace and mastery.

Scores and tasting notes
Here's a wine of power, determination and confidence—as far as first impressions go. The 2007 Bolgheri Sassicaia leaves little hidden behind the curtain. It presents a frank and straightforward array of bold fruit, spice, leather and tobacco-like aromas that emerge from the bouquet with energy and force. The aromas are complete and genuine. The palate, however, offers more space for interpretation and review. It is finessed and nuanced, thus requiring more time to fully comprehend and appreciate. Silky tannins are followed by fine textural smoothness and a long finish. The outgoing nature of the aromas make for a fascinating contrast against the inward and reticent nature of the mouthfeel.
