FEATURES
The 2007 vintage for Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia saw a mild winter with below-average precipitation, leading to early budding. A mild spring with timely rains supported good vegetative growth, followed by a rainy June. A hot and dry July was succeeded by unusual heavy rains in late August, which ultimately ensured regular grape ripening. Mother Nature was particularly generous to Tuscany's vines in 2007, providing a warm, dry summer followed by well-orchestrated rains, resulting in a strikingly aromatic and balanced blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
This iconic red wine offers an elegant bouquet featuring mineral, fruit, and spice nuances. Expect bold fruit, spice, leather, and tobacco-like aromas that emerge with energy and force. The palate is finessed and nuanced, characterized by silky tannins, a fine textural smoothness, and a long, persistent finish. It is medium-bodied with fine tannins, spicy on the entry, showcasing tarry black fruits and white pepper. Tasting notes also highlight blackcurrant and dark cherry fruit, complemented by cedar, tobacco, graphite, and Mediterranean herbs, leading to a fresh, structured, and refined experience with a savory and persistent finish. It presents a ruby red color with cherry, herbs, and floral flavors, high in acidity and medium-bodied.
🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This Sassicaia is an excellent match for grilled or roasted beef, lamb with rosemary and herbs, and aged Tuscan pecorino.
🥂 Event suggestions: This is an age-worthy wine that was recommended not to be opened before 2018. It's perfectly suited for collectors of age-worthy Tuscan Cabernet blends and those who appreciate structured reds with savory complexity. It's considered an "investment symphony" for fine wine enthusiasts, designed to age gracefully and gain opulence over time.
