Tenuta San Guido, Sassicaia, 2020

Sassicaia is a wine that changed the course of Italian wine history, and it continues to produce, with each vintage, wines that justify the legend. The 2020 is scented and floral, with remarkable nuance and detail on a nose of cassis, blueberry, lifted florals, and complex aromatic layers. The palate is poised and light on its feet, the tannins of almost imperceptible fineness, the acidity fresh and sustaining, the finish reaching a conclusion of exceptional length and complexity. Multiple leading critics awarded 96 and 97 points. A 2020 Sassicaia that combines the vintage's natural generosity with the site's non-negotiable precision.
