Sassicaia 2020

Le Sassicaia du domaine vinicole Tenuta San Guido fait partie des meilleurs vins italiens. La collaboration entre Licata Vini et Tenuta San Guido a commencé il y a plus de 30 ans entre Calogero Licata et le marquis Nicolò Incisa della Rochetta. Licata Vini est dès lors l'importateur exclusif de ce vin d'icône en Belgique.

Chaque année, les nouveaux millésimes de cette maison prestigieuse sont proposés en prévente. La prévente de Sassicaia 2020 commençera en février 2023. Ce vintage a récemment reçu une excellente note de 96/100 du critique de vin Robert Parker. 

The Tenuta San Guido 2020 Bolgheri Sassicaia speaks to those who seek a more voluptuous, opulent and, ultimately, more accessible wine. This vintage is a precise reflection of Coastal Tuscany, as opposed to a more generic "Tuscan" wine from elsewhere in this large central Italian region. You taste the ripeness and soft fruit weight that comes from a coastal appellation with especially bright luminosity and warm Mediterranean offshore breezes. Sassicaia from the cool vintages is a famously reticent or withholding wine in its earliest years, requiring a long lead time before it eases into an ideal drinking window. That's definitely not the case here. This wine is beautiful and compelling straight out of the gate, showing a lovely mix of dark fruit, oak spice, balanced freshness, textural richness, soft tannins and an expertly contained 14% alcohol content. The wine's immediate character is what distinguishes this vintage, and I wouldn't get too fussed by exaggerated cellar-aging ambitions. The wine awards sheer pleasure in its current form, with dazzling primary fruit and soaring intensity over the near and medium term.
