Sassicaia 2020 TENUTA SAN GUIDO 750ml
€327.00
(€436.00 / L)
VAT included
TYPE: D.O.C. Bolgheri Sassicaia
PRODUCTION AREA: Bolgheri. The production facilities are located at an average altitude of between 100 and 300 metres above sea level, with western/southwestern
exposure.
VINE: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc.
SOIL TYPE: strong presence of calcareous areas rich in marl and stones and partially clayey.
VINIFICATION: Selection of the grapes using a sorting table to eliminate impurities and any imperfections. Soft pressing and gentle de-stemming of the grapes using
suitable machinery to avoid breaking the integrity of the berries and avoid excessive release of tannins. Alcoholic fermentation (completely spontaneous and without the
addition of external yeasts) was completed in mid-October and took place regularly at maximum temperatures of 26-27 °C. Frequent delestages and open-air pumping over
allowed for excellent aromatic extraction and freshness in terms of the acidity of the musts. Malolactic fermentations (always without nocules), carried out in stainless steel,
were completed regularly at the end of November thanks to the low external temperatures. In early December, after frequent racking to clean the musts, the wine was placed
in barriques from the first ten days of December 2019.
VINEYARD SYSTEM: spurred cordon
COLOUR: purple red with violet reflections.
BOUQUET: expressive and very fine bouquet, broad, with hints of cherry and aromas of undergrowth, balsamic herbs and rosemary.
PAIRINGS: Meat of all kinds and fine game.
TASTE: very fine and intense, with a fresh acidity supported by strong tannins. Balanced and long.
AGEING: at the end of the malolactic fermentation the wine was put into barriques using 40% new wood, 40% first passage and 20% second passage. We used French oak
barriques (Troncais and Allier in particular) with a fine grain and light toasting in order not to overdo the release of tannins. Sassicaia 2019, after about 25 months of
refinement in wood, was racked into steel tanks and further selected before final blending and then bottling.Subsequent refinement in bottle before release.
