About
Tenuta San Guido Bolgheri DOC "Sassicaia" 2022 is a dry red wine crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc in the prestigious Bolgheri region of Tuscany. It hails from vineyards planted on calcareous, gravelly, and partially clayey soils, situated between 100 and 400 meters above sea level with favorable west–south-west exposure. The 2022 vintage was distinguished by a hot growing season, balanced by the unique microclimate of Bolgheri that preserved both acidity and freshness.
Tasting notes
On the nose, it reveals a refined bouquet of ripe blackberry, tart cherry, Mediterranean herbs like rosemary and mint, as well as subtle florals and dark spice. The palate unfolds with elegant, streamlined structure, yielding flavors of wild cherry, licorice, graphite, and saline minerality, anchored by refined tannins and lively acidity. Its long, persistent finish is both poised and intense, promising outstanding aging potential.
Pairing
This structured wine pairs beautifully with red meat—especially beef or game—and mature cheeses. Its noble balance of power and finesse also complements richly flavored lamb dishes wonderfully.

Tenuta San Guido
Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon wines shows a strong body, high acidity and high levels of tannins. A bouquet is very intensive, with black berries and spices. Very often these wines has great aging potential.
Bolgheri
Bolgheri is a relatively new but prestigious Italian resort on the Tuscan coast, located in the Maremma, south of Livorno, and named after a town in the north of the region. It is known mainly for its vibrant, full-bodied and undoubtedly valuable red wines, usually produced using French grape varieties from Bordeaux. The wine-growing area has gentle vineyards near the Tyrrhenian Sea. Back in the 1970s, the region had a low reputation for wine production. Here, in a rather swampy area, atypical white and rosé wines were produced. It used to be that this area, unlike the classic Tuscan vineyards, is better suited for other types of agriculture. But that all changed in 1978 when, in a blind tasting run by Decanter magazine, a wine called Sassicaia from Bolgheri surpassed the great wines of Bordeaux.
Toscana
The hilly terrain and warm climate make Tuscany an ideal region for winemaking. It ranks third by the amount DOC and DOCG category wines after Piemonte and Veneto. Currently the most popular variety is the noble Sangiovese - it is extremely thermophilic and successfully reveals its best traits in warm climates. Wines have a lovely structure, velvety tannins and a fruity aroma, the color is rich ruby red, but the most distinguishable flavor notes are cherries, raspberries and spices.
