Bolgheri Sassicaia\u003c\/strong\u003e designation identifies a wine closely tied to its origin and the production vision of \u003cstrong\u003eTenuta San Guido\u003c\/strong\u003e. The vineyards are located in an area characterized by varied and complex soils, with a strong presence of calcareous components, galestro, stones, and clay parts, at an altitude between 100 and 300 meters above sea level. This territorial combination, along with the West\/South-West exposure, helps define a tense, harmonious, and fine style, where structure meets balance and precision. The harvest began in mid-September, and the careful selection of grapes reflects an attentive approach to quality, while maturation in French oak barrels adds complexity without overshadowing the varietal character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSassicaia 2011 DOC Bolgheri Half bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e presents a typically Bordeaux profile, elegant and deep.
