2020 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia – A Defining Modern Vintage of Bolgheri

The 2020 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia continues the legacy of Italy’s most influential Cabernet-based wine. Produced in the coastal vineyards of Bolgheri, this release showcases the clarity, structure, and maritime freshness that have made Sassicaia a benchmark among collectors and a defining force in the rise of Tuscany’s Super Tuscan movement.

Tasting Notes

The 2020 vintage delivers aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, wild herbs, and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is refined yet energetic, offering layers of dark fruit, graphite, and savoury undertones supported by polished tannins. A long, mineral-driven finish reflects the vineyard’s gravelly soils and the cooling influence of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Sourced from estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, the wine is vinified in temperature-controlled steel tanks before aging in French oak barriques. The combination of well-drained, rocky soils and a temperate coastal climate produces a style that balances concentration with notable freshness—qualities that have come to define Sassicaia’s enduring reputation.

Investment & Collectibility

Already regarded as one of the standout Tuscan vintages of the decade, the 2020 Sassicaia offers impressive aging potential and a strong trajectory on the secondary market. Its limited production and consistent global demand make it a sought-after addition to long-term fine wine collections.

Vintage Insights & Accolades

The 2020 season saw warm, stable conditions moderated by maritime breezes, yielding fruit of excellent purity and structure. Critics highlight the vintage for its balance, depth, and clarity.

Pure red with a garnet hue, the 2020 Sassicaia is stunning, with fantastic, elegantly layered aromas of black raspberry liqueur, macchia, fresh leather, and fresh lavender. Full-bodied with clean lift, it reveals a more luxurious and polished texture with a velvety feel, a long finish, and a touch of warming richness. As it opens, it reveals notes of mocha and Amarena cherry and becomes distilled and pure with wonderful sweetness of fruit, although it’s fully dry. It has a great finish and is very appealing throughout. Drink 2025-2055. Reviewed by Audrey Frick, Issue date: January 2023. Drinking window: 2025 - 2055.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The Tenuta San Guido 2020 Bolgheri Sassicaia speaks to those who seek a more voluptuous, opulent and, ultimately, more accessible wine. This vintage is a precise reflection of Coastal Tuscany, as opposed to a more generic "Tuscan" wine from elsewhere in this large central Italian region. You taste the ripeness and soft fruit weight that comes from a coastal appellation with especially bright luminosity and warm Mediterranean offshore breezes. Sassicaia from the cool vintages is a famously reticent or withholding wine in its earliest years, requiring a long lead time before it eases into an ideal drinking window. That's definitely not the case here. This wine is beautiful and compelling straight out of the gate, showing a lovely mix of dark fruit, oak spice, balanced freshness, textural richness, soft tannins and an expertly contained 14% alcohol content. The wine's immediate character is what distinguishes this vintage, and I wouldn't get too fussed by exaggerated cellar-aging ambitions. The wine awards sheer pleasure in its current form, with dazzling primary fruit and soaring intensity over the near and medium term. Reviewed by Monica Larner, Issue date: January 2023. Drinking window: 2024 - 2042.

Vinous

The 2020 Sassicaia is a bold, rapturous wine. Dark, fleshy and expansive on the palate, the 2020 offers up scents of blackberry jam, gravel, spice, new leather, licorice and crème de cassis. Potent tannins are nearly buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. Sassicaia is never a huge wine, the 2020 does seem to have an extra dimension of textural intensity. It's an intensity that is hugely appealing. Estate Manager Carlo Paoli describes 2020 as a year with a long, rainy winter and a cold spring. "Temperatures warmed up in the middle of June," he explained. "July was very hot, but heat moderated in August. Even so, it was a year in which ripeness moved quickly, as opposed to 2021 when ripeness was more gradual. We picked the entire estate in 22 days instead of the 29-30 that is more typical." The 2020 spent 15-18 days on the skins, followed by 25 months in French oak, 50% new. Production is down about 30% because of selection in the vineyard. Reviewed by Antonio Galloni, Issue date: August 2023. Drinking window: 2028 - 2050.
