2007 Sassicaia from Tenuta San Guido

We now turn our focus towards the finest Italian shores, bolting closer to the panoramic Tuscan coastline where the exceptional 2007 Sassicaia from Tenuta San Guido was born. The Clay loam soils and maritime influence of the Bolgheri subregion has crafted an iconic wine, a testament to a vintage that, in one of Italy's most renowned vineyards, touched unprecedented heights.

 

Elegant signature of Tenuta San Guido

In 2007, Mother Nature was particularly generous to Tuscany's prized vines. A warm and dry summer, followed by well-orchestrated rains, endowed us with the strikingly aromatic and tastefully balanced ideal grape blend - Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

San Guido's artisanal excellence takes virtuosic form in this Sassicaia, where sultry black fruits merge with subtle hints of eucalyptus and Mediterranean herbs, conjuring an intense whiskey barrel allure. Retracing the stellar legacy of the '97s richness, this vintage revisits its depth with grace and mastery.

 

An investment ensemble for fine wine savants

The 2007 Sassicaia is an investment symphony for those who appreciate the finest overtures from Italy. Its structure is beautifully designed to age with charm while its intrinsic values are combusting into opulence year after year. Unprecedently bold on release, it has inherited a significant ageing potential that lends it an appealing edge for fine wine investors.

Powerful yet harmonious, this Tuscan prince offers not merely a delectable hedonistic experience but also an investment piece boasting promising returns. This is the crest jewel among Italian wines making it a worthwhile addition thrown into the fine wine investment arena.

Cap off your deep dive into the supreme Sassicaia offerings with the 2007 vintage that is poised for recognition in its decadent progression. Shifting elegance into an art form, here is a wine that speaks volumes of both Tenuta San Guido's winemaking philosophy and Mother Nature's magical touch during 2007 – a symphony forever imprinted on the precious juice within the bottle.

Here's a wine of power, determination and confidence—as far as first impressions go. The 2007 Bolgheri Sassicaia leaves little hidden behind the curtain. It presents a frank and straightforward array of bold fruit, spice, leather and tobacco-like aromas that emerge from the bouquet with energy and force. The aromas are complete and genuine. The palate, however, offers more space for interpretation and review. It is finessed and nuanced, thus requiring more time to fully comprehend and appreciate. Silky tannins are followed by fine textural smoothness and a long finish. The outgoing nature of the aromas make for a fascinating contrast against the inward and reticent nature of the mouthfeel.
