Sassicaia 2004 is a full-bodied Supertuscan red wine produced in the Bolgheri sub-region of Tuscany, central Italy. Tenuta San Guido`s Sassicaia is one of the world`s most iconic Cabernet Sauvignons, produced from organically farmed vineyards close to the Tuscan coast in Bolgheri. For Italian winemakers, 2004 is a year to remember for all the right reasons. Some critics describe it as ‘an epic vintage’ and this Sassicaia 2004 lives up to that expectation. The wine is deep in colour with delicate notes of blackcurrant and vanilla on the nose. The palate has intense cassis flavours, with a sprinkle of minerality. Ripe, fine-grained tannins and firm acidity set the tone and lead to a rewarding, long-lasting finish. Available here in magnum format.

The 2004 Sassicaia is a lovely, understated effort. Medium in body, it presents nuanced layers of sweet dark fruit, licorice, menthol and toasted oak that gradually open onto a finely-knit frame of notable length. Today it appears to be quite reticent and still holding back much of its potential. Both bottles I sampled showed less vibrancy and freshness in both color and flavors than the other top 2004s I tasted alongside it, suggesting that the wine is still suffering from bottle shock.

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.
