Sassicaia 2000 Tenuta San Guido
The Sassicaia 2000 by Tenuta San Guido stands as one of Italy’s most legendary wines and a benchmark for the Super Tuscan category. Born from the vision of the Incisa della Rocchetta family, it has become a global icon of Bolgheri’s winemaking excellence.
The 2000 vintage, marked by a warm growing season, produced a wine that is generous, approachable and well-balanced, now showing remarkable tertiary complexity with age. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc undergoes precise vinification followed by extended aging in French oak barriques, enhancing both structure and refinement.
In the glass, it displays an evolved garnet hue, reflecting its maturity. The nose is complex and layered, with notes of ripe red fruit, jam, tobacco, leather and sweet spices, alongside tertiary hints of forest floor and licorice.
On the palate, it is smooth, enveloping and harmonious, with polished tannins and a still solid backbone. The finish is long, warm and persistent, with spicy and balsamic echoes. A wine that has reached an excellent drinking window.
This specific bottle comes with a damaged label, affecting only the visual aspect and not the integrity or quality of the wine. A compelling option for those seeking access to a historic Sassicaia vintage at a more attractive price point.
Perfect with red meats, game and aged cheeses, it is ideal for high-level tastings and special occasions.
