Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2022

Volume: 750
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.

Winemaking
After a careful selection of the grapes, soft pressing is followed by controlled alcoholic fermentation, completed by the end of October. The macerations were moderate, lasting from 13 to 18 days, with optimal extraction of polyphenols and aromas. After the spontaneous malolactic fermentation, completed by the end of November, the wine underwent a maturation period in wood for about 23 months. It was then transferred to steel tanks for the final selection of the batches before blending.
