SASSICAIA - Tenuta San Guido 2006

Tenuta San Guido is far better known by the name of its most famous wine, Sassicaia. The estate is located in the Tuscan region of Maremma in Italy and has its own DOC monodomain name (Bolgheri Sassicaia) applied to its flagship wine.

Sassicaia, one of the original Super-Tuscans, is made from Cabernet Sauvignon with a small amount of Cabernet Franc. The grapes used to produce Sassicaia are harvested shortly before full ripeness, which contributes to finesse and aroma and also to a lower alcohol level. After a two-week fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is aged for between 20 and 25 months in French oak barrels, with a small portion aged in American oak barrels.

Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc
