Aromas of vanilla tobacco leaf wild blackberries and blueberries gust on the nose while the palate brings more sweet berries and vanilla but also has an unexpected bouncy lively almost pop-rocks feel from the acid. Flexible tannins structure a warm citrus finish. As ever a five-star luxury with the ease of a lifetime of experience. — Danielle Callegari

The 2022 Sassicaia is simply brilliant in this vintage showing a remarkable level of poise and freshness. It opens with a captivating bouquet of ripe blackberries plum florals and subtle herbs underscored by a touch of spice tobacco and minerals. On the palate it is medium to full-bodied and well-structured with velvety tannins and a lively acidity that provides perfect balance. Rich flavors of red/dark fruits tobacco and spices unfold beautifully leading to a long persistent finish that is both refined and elegant. A stunning example of Sassicaia's pedigree and resilience to thrive year after year..." 02/25

"The Tenuta San Guido 2022 Bolgheri Sassicaia reveals a beautiful fruit profile with fresh blackberry, tart cherry and Mediterranean tones of blue rosemary blooms and lavender sachet. I tasted this wine several times over the course of a few months, and it has already shown a happy evolution coming into slow focus like the faint colors that emerge from a Polaroid photograph. Indeed, the bouquet appeared more closed just a short while ago. The wine's strongest suit is its elegantly streamlined mouthfeel and its contained 13.5% alcohol content. These qualities add to the silky cleanness of the mouthfeel and the accessible freshness of this vintage. I am confident that this bottle will improve with time. It requires patience.

"The 2022 Sassicaia is a deeper, youthful magenta/red color with a slightly deeper aromatic profile of rosemary, gravelly earth, sage, mossy earth, and fresh black cherries. The palate has slightly broader shoulders but remains elegant. It has more plushness on the mid-palate, while its acidity shines through with the finish. It will need several years to shed its baby fat and show its full potential."

"The wine is tightly coiled and concentrated. It feels almost cinched at the waist, with a fascinating tension between the weight of raspberry, blackberry and strawberry coulis fruit and the wine's verticality, as if it's trying to burst out. Lovely mid-palate sapidity is allied to fresh acidity and fine but dense tannins, making for a dark horse of a Sassicaia that isn't giving much away today but will greatly reward those who can cellar it for 12 years and more. ‘What is sure is that 2022 will need a lot of time, but will also have a long life,’ said Priscilla Incisa della Rocchetta. A hot vintage, 2022 caused the team to work in the newly completed refrigerated warehouses in San Guido, even moving the sorting table inside. Shorter macerations and 23 rather than the more typical 24 or 25 months of ageing in wood helped to maximise the freshness."
