Critics reviews
Antonio Galloni 92-95/100
The 2017 Sassicaia is a wild, exotic beauty. Sumptuous and flamboyantly ripe, the 2017 captures all the personality of the year in spades. Super-ripe red cherry, pomegranate and spice notes all flesh out in this curvy, racy beauty from Tenuta San Guido.antonio_galloni (March 2019)
James Suckling 95-96/100
This shows focus and finesse with dark berries, currants and a light rosemary character. Full-bodied, refined and focused. Serious.james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (September 2018)

Tenuta San Guido
Tenuta San Guido's journey to becoming one of the world's most sought-after fine wines is largely owed to the vision and dedication of Mario Incisa della Rocchetta. The estate's origins trace back to his wife's family, who had owned land in Bolgheri since 1800. The name "Sassicaia," meaning "place of many stones," reflects the gravelly soil reminiscent of the Médoc region in France.
