Tenuta San Guido Bolgheri Sassicaia 1997

ROBERT PARKER “Tenuta San Guido’s Sassicaia is a pioneer of Super Tuscan wines, renowned for transforming the reputation of Italian reds. The estate, located near the Tuscan coast, has a unique terroir that blends maritime influence with rocky soils, ideal for growing Bordeaux varietals. The 1998 vintage is considered a standout year, displaying elegance, structure, and a long aging potential. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc creates a sophisticated balance of dark fruit, tobacco, and spice, wrapped in silky tannins. As the wine matures, it continues to reveal greater complexity, making it a highly sought-after bottle for collectors and connoisseurs.”
