San Guido "Sassicaia" Bolgheri 2014
Sassicaia is one of the most sought after fine wines in the world, it is widely accepted as the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon. Intense, concentrated and deep ruby-coloured, this wine offers elegant, complex aromas of red fruit. In the mouth it is rich and dense, yet harmonious, with sweet, balanced tannins. The wine has a long finish with a depth and structure that ensure its extraordinary longevity. Sassicaia means “the place of many stones,” and refers to the region’s gravel soil. The original vineyards have a southwest exposure with extensive sun and maritime breezes that create robust vegetation. The grapes were handpicked, destemmed and crushed before fermenting with natural yeasts for 15 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine was aged in French oak barriques (40% new) for 24 months, then refined for 6 months in bottle before release. ABV 13.5% Blend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc
