2011 Sassicaia, Tenuta San Guido, Bolgheri Sassicaia, Tuscany, Italy

The 2011 Sassicaia comes from a vintage with a cold winter, a mild spring with abundant rains and a very good difference in temperatures between night and day during the summer, and there were sunny days during the harvest. You can feel this sunny, bright personality in the wine. The nose is open and accessible with bright red fruit and cream aromas. On the palate, there are contrasting flavours which are a little green and firm, but these are enveloped in a luxurious texture and weight.

Drink 2022 - 2034
