Fully intact metal capsule SASSICAIA - Tenuta San Guido 2006 Bolgheri DOC SASSICAIA - Tenuta San Guido 2006 Tenuta San Guido is much more famous by the name of its most famous wine, Sassicaia. The estate is located in the Tuscan region of Maremma in Italy and has its own DOC monodomain name (Bolgheri Sassicaia), applied to its flagship wine. Sassicaia, one of the original Super-Tuscans, is made from Cabernet Sauvignon with a small amount of Cabernet Franc. The grapes used for Sassicaia are harvested shortly before full ripeness, which contributes to finesse and aroma as well as to a lower alcohol content. After two weeks of fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine matures for between 20 and 25 months in French oak barrels and a small portion in American oak barrels. Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc
