Sassicaia 2004 — the original Super Tuscan, a benchmark of Italian Cabernet.
Produced by Tenuta San Guido in Bolgheri, Sassicaia is the wine that pioneered the Super Tuscan movement. The 2004 is a bold, structured expression of sun-kissed Tuscan vineyards and centuries of craftsmanship.
Bold and structured, with dark fruit, spice and earth. Layers of blackcurrant, blueberry and violet meet vanilla and balsamic, framed by fine, elegant tannins and a long finish with a hint of cedar and rosewood sweetness.
