The 2022 Sassicaia continues the estate’s remarkable run of form, capturing the grace, depth, and poise that have made this Bolgheri icon one of Italy’s most collectible wines. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (around 85%) and Cabernet Franc (15%), it reflects the warm, dry vintage with remarkable freshness and balance. The wine opens with refined aromas of blackcurrant, violet, cedar, and wild herbs, unfolding into layers of graphite, spice, and subtle tobacco.

On the palate, it’s silky yet powerful, showing the classic Sassicaia tension between ripe fruit and cool Mediterranean minerality. Fine, chalky tannins frame flavours of cassis, dark cherry, and espresso, leading to a long, elegant finish. Approachable in youth yet built for decades of evolution, Sassicaia 2022 stands proudly in the lineage of this legendary estate — a seamless expression of Bolgheri’s coastal terroir and Tenuta San Guido’s timeless craftsmanship.
