Sassicaia 2007, Tenuta San Guido

Intense ruby, complex bouquet with highly elegant red fruits. Powerful and concentrated on the palate with sweet balanced tannins and a very long, fine, finish. This will age very well. 2007 season had a very mild winter with below normal rainfall, which resulted in sprouting about 10 days earlier than average. The spring was mild with an abundant water supply. The summer months were hot and dry, but temperatures were within the norm, with rather cool days, which led to a perfect ripening of the grapes. The ideal weather conditions in September, characterised by fine weather, dry climate and significant temperature fluctuations between day and night, allowed both the perfect ripening of all grape varieties as well as harvesting at the optimal time.
