The 2012 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia Bolgheri DOC Magnum (1.5L) ranks among the absolute best Italian red wines in the world. Produced at the legendary Tenuta San Guido estate in Bolgheri, Sassicaia is considered the wine that put the Super Tuscan movement on the map. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc yields a wine of exceptional elegance, complexity, and impressive aging potential.<\/p>\n
The 2012 vintage produced a classic Sassicaia with ripe fruit, refined structure, and a perfect balance between power and freshness. The Magnum format ensures slower and more even aging, allowing the wine to develop even more gradually and gain additional finesse and depth. As a result, this bottle is particularly popular among collectors and investors.<\/p>\n
The nose opens with aromas of cassis, black currants, ripe cherries, graphite, cedarwood, tobacco, Mediterranean herbs, cocoa, and subtle balsamic notes. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet exceptionally refined, with silky-smooth tannins, lively acidity, and a long, mineral finish in which elegance and complexity come together perfectly.<\/p>\n
A 1.5-liter Magnum provides ideal conditions for slow and harmonious aging. As a result, the wine retains its freshness longer and develops greater complexity than a standard bottle. Magnum bottles are also among the most sought-after sizes among collectors.<\/p>\n
Serve at 17\u201318\u00b0C and decant the wine two to three hours in advance. Perfect with Florentine bistecca, grilled beef, lamb, game dishes, truffle dishes, and aged hard cheeses.<\/p>\n
The 2012 Sassicaia Magnum has excellent aging potential and, under optimal conditions, will continue to develop for another twenty to thirty years.<\/p>\n
