Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia DOC 2023

Tenuta San Guido’s Sassicaia helped establish Bolgheri as a home for Cabernet, with its first commercial release coming from the 1968 vintage. The 2023 blends 87% Cabernet Sauvignon with 13% Cabernet Franc, grown on the estate’s varied, stony soils and matured in French oak barriques.

Blackberry, gravel, incense and leather give this vintage depth, while its medium-bodied structure keeps the wine poised and refined. Antonio Galloni awarded it 97 points for Vinous, describing it as “elegant and supremely polished”—a Sassicaia with both youthful appeal and considerable cellaring potential.
