The Sassicaia Bolgheri DOCG is created from nothing else but the highest quality, hand-picked fruit. The vines are old (some dating back to 1950) yet vigorous. The result is a transcendent wine that has defined the region and earned multiple 100-point ratings from critics. Wine Spectator even voted 2018 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia as its “Wine of the Year.”

Sassicaia is the original Super Tuscan, debuting in 1968. Its seminal release was far from spontaneous, though. Tenuta San Guido had refined the red blend for more than four decades in pursuit of the ultimate thoroughbred wine. So, what did critics originally think? Meh. Since light, local wines were customary, the complexity of Sassicaia was beyond comprehension.  
 
Time has been much kinder to Sassicaia. Today, it’s considered one of the essential Tuscan wines with its exceptional balance, nuanced personality, and entrancing aromas. The 2019 vintage offers a classical interpretation with notes of red berries, tobacco, dried herbs, cedar, olive, and earthiness. Multiple wine critics have awarded it a 100-point rating, with James Suckling comparing it to the legendary vintages of 1982 and 1988. With its 0.75 price-to-score correlation, Sassicaia should be on any investor’s shortlist.  
 
The Final Sip: The original Super Tuscans sparked a revolution and inspired generations of winemakers and consumers.
