Sassicaia 1982 is a mature-vintage Supertuscan blend from Tenuta San Guido in the Bolgheri region of Tuscany. Produced since the 1968 vintage, Sassicaia is one of the world`s most iconic Cabernets, produced from organically farmed vineyards close to the Tuscan coast in Bolgheri. Typically blended with a small percentage of Cabernet Franc and aged for 24 months in French oak barriques, it is characterised by all the hallmarks which have established this wine as one of Italy’s icons – sumptuous fruit, fine texture, beautiful perfume and effortless balance. On the 1982 vintage. "As has been the case with so many of these wines, the thing that is striking is the lightness and grace, this once again proves that you have to forget being in Tuscany and think about the specific location of Bolgheri. The colour intensity and depth of this 1982 is amazing, the freshness and the hold are both laudable. It still retains a juicy quality to the blackberry fruit at this age, and the tannic creep balanced by the acidity is impressive, my mouth is actually watering. What an achievement." Decanter, 2016

Bright ruby and very healthy. Very, very rich and lively. Full and big with lots of brutal tannins. Quite tough tannins even now. Dry year? Not as much fun as 1983. (JR)

Tenuta San Guido

The Original Super Tuscan

Tenuta San Guido’s flagship red wine, Sassicaia wine, has become a Tuscan icon in its own right. This fine wine, made from a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, is characterized by all the hallmarks that have established it as one of Italy’s standout wines: sumptuous fruit, fine texture, beautiful perfume, and effortless balance. A prototype of Super Tuscan wines, Mario Incisa della Rocchetta decided to experiment with Bordeaux varietals, noting a similarity between the geography of Tuscany and Graves in southwest France.

Early vintages of this iconic Italian wine were only available to taste at the winery. The 1968 vintage was the first Sassicaia wine to be sold to the public, and in 1994, Sassicaia was granted its own official DOC: Bolgheri-Sassicaia DOC. Early vintages received mixed reviews, but the introduction of Tronçais oak barriques in the late 1970s saw a rise in quality that has been maintained ever since. Alongside the Grand Vin, the Tenuta San Guido estate produces a second wine, Guidalberto, and a third wine, La Difese.

Sassicaia's impact on the wine world is profound, exemplifying the fine elegance of Tuscan wine. With a dedication to quality and tradition, Tenuta San Guido continues to set the benchmark for fine wines globally.
