Arguably the most famous wine in Italy and a globally recognized red wine, Sassicaia holds a special place as one of the original `Super Tuscans’. Since its inaugural commercially available vintage in 1968, Tenuta San Guido has consistently produced wine each year, except for 1969 and 1973. In 1992, Sassicaia delivered a noteworthy performance, defying the expectations of a year that wasn`t exceptional for Tuscan reds. The wine exhibits a vibrant and concentrated intense ruby-garnet colour. Distinct aromas linger, characterized by pronounced scents of vanilla intertwined with red fruit. The palate offers a full, elegant, and concentrated mouthfeel, featuring sweet and balanced tannins.
