The Ultimate Holiday Gift (even if it's a gift for yourself!)

If there is a more iconic Tuscan wine these days than Sassicaia, we're certainly unaware of it. Sure, there are other greats out there - but Sassicaia has proved time and again that this incredible Bolgheri hails from some of the finest terroir in all of Italy, and satiates the desires of what fine and rare wine drinkers love.

The brainchild of the legendary Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, Sassicaia is a true "Super Tuscan" based around Cabernet Sauvignon, with the balance filled in with Cabernet Franc.

It's the quintessential Tuscan made with non-indigenous grapes, and fine and rare lovers will be truly thrilled with this bottling as it's nothing short of spectacular!

"Plenty of red currant, cedar, iron and terra cotta aromas follow through to a medium to full body with graphite, sandalwood, red currants and fresh Mediterranean herbs such as thyme and rosemary. The tannins are chewy but polished in texture. This is a Sassicaia that needs three or four years of bottle age to come together and soften. A structured wine for the cellar. Try after 2029." - 98 Points James Suckling

"The Tenuta San Guido 2022 Bolgheri Sassicaia reveals a beautiful fruit profile with fresh blackberry, tart cherry and Mediterranean tones of blue rosemary blooms and lavender sachet. I tasted this wine several times over the course of a few months, and it has already shown a happy evolution coming into slow focus like the faint colors that emerge from a Polaroid photograph. Indeed, the bouquet appeared more closed just a short while ago. The wine's strongest suit is its elegantly streamlined mouthfeel and its contained 13.5% alcohol content. These qualities add to the silky cleanness of the mouthfeel and the accessible freshness of this vintage. I am confident that this bottle will improve with time. It requires patience."  - 97+ Points Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2022 Sassicaia is a deeper, youthful magenta/red color with a slightly deeper aromatic profile of rosemary, gravelly earth, sage, mossy earth, and fresh black cherries. The palate has slightly broader shoulders but remains elegant. It has more plushness on the mid-palate, while its acidity shines through with the finish. It will need several years to shed its baby fat and show its full potential. Drink 2028-2058."  - 97+ Points Jeb Dunnuck
