2023 RIOJA SPECIAL REPORT
Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia Bolgheri 2020 Current Release lightly chewy finish with someThe 2020 Sassicaia is a bold, rapturous wine. Dark, fleshy and expansive on the palate, the 2020 offers up scents of blackberry jam, gravel, spice, new leather, liquorice and crme de cassis. Potent tannins are nearly buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. Sassicaia is never a huge wine, the 2020 does seem to have an extra dimension of textural intensity. It's an intensity that is hugely appealing. Antonio Galloni, Vinous Estate Manager Carlo
