POINTS: 100 by Wine Advocate
TASTING NOTES: The 2016 Sassicaia is a wine of soaring achievement. I tasted this wine several times during the course of its creation in both barrel and bottle, and the highly deserved 100-point score you see here was enthusiastically assigned at the conclusion of a mini vertical in which I tasted and compared the 2016 vintage against 2015 (which I scored 97 points). It makes perfect sense to present these two excellent vintages in back-to-back comparison fashion because they are two of the best to emerge from Bolgheri, and indeed Tenuta San Guido, in recent memory. These are very similar vintages with long, hot summer months that fueled a long growing season. There was a bit more rain in 2016, and in analytical terms this vintage has a tad more acidity. That acidity will carry it long into the future as the wine completes its slow evolutionary course. This wine is chiseled and sharp with blackberry, ripe cherry, grilled herb and barbecue spice. The aromas flow from the glass in a continuous stream and are all marked by radiant intensity. The mouthfeel is long and powerful. The crisp linearity of the wine's tannic backbone is perfectly measured to the volume and depth of the fruit flavors. To my mind, the 2016 Sassicaia stands tall next to the epic 1985 vintage that set the ultimate benchmark for vino italiano

Tuscany

About Tuscany

Tuscany, nestled in central Italy, stands as a beacon of excellence in the world of wine. Its rich viticultural history and diverse terroir have given rise to an array of renowned wines cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.

At the heart of Tuscan winemaking is Chianti Classico, an emblematic red crafted primarily from Sangiovese grapes. Its spirited profile, adorned with red fruit tones and lively acidity, epitomizes the region's winemaking prowess.

Venturing into Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino emerges as a tour de force, exclusively fashioned from Sangiovese. With its bold demeanor and intricate layers of cherry, plum, and earthy nuances, it commands reverence among connoisseurs.

Meanwhile, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, hailing from the eponymous region, captivates with its opulent fusion of Sangiovese, rendering a tapestry of dark fruit, spice, and earthy allure.

Innovative and audacious, Super Tuscans defy convention, blending indigenous Sangiovese with international varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Syrah. Their bold expressions and unparalleled quality fetch admiration and acclaim, elevating the region's prestige.

For indulgent finales, Vin Santo, a luscious dessert wine, tantalizes palates with its honeyed sweetness and hints of dried fruit and nuts. Meanwhile, Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Tuscany's venerable white wine, enchants with its crisp acidity, floral bouquet, and citrus charm.

Carmignano, a hidden gem, marries Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon, yielding a wine of remarkable structure, depth, and aging potential, showcasing the region's propensity for excellence.

Such is the tapestry of Tuscan wine—a mosaic of tradition, innovation, and unparalleled quality—each bottle a testament to the region's enduring legacy and unwavering commitment to vinicultural mastery.
