2016 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia Bolgheri – A Landmark Tuscan Vintage

The 2016 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia stands among the defining wines of modern Italy. Produced from the historic estate in Bolgheri, this release reflects meticulous vineyard selection and a deep understanding of coastal Tuscan terroir. Sassicaia’s reputation as the original Super Tuscan is fully evident in this refined and age-worthy vintage.

Tasting Notes

The 2016 vintage reveals aromas of blackcurrant, violet, cedar, and dried herbs. The palate is focused and vibrant, supported by silky tannins and bright acidity. Layers of dark fruit, graphite, and subtle spice build across a long, polished finish. Its structure and balance signal a wine crafted for decades of evolution.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon with a small addition of Cabernet Franc, Sassicaia is sourced from gravel-rich sites within the Tenuta San Guido estate. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled steel tanks followed by extended aging in French oak barriques. The mild coastal climate and stony soils contribute to the wine’s purity, tension, and unmistakable character.

Investment & Collectibility

The 2016 Sassicaia has quickly earned recognition as one of the estate’s benchmark vintages, noted for its precision and longevity. With strong global demand and consistent performance in secondary markets, it remains a cornerstone for collectors seeking blue-chip Italian wines.

Vintage Insights & Accolades

A steady growing season with ideal ripening conditions produced fruit of exceptional clarity and concentration. Critics widely regard 2016 as one of Bolgheri’s most complete and age-worthy vintages.

Coming from a long, hot, even growing season, the Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated 2016 Sassicaia sports a deep purple color as well as a beautiful bouquet of black and blue fruits, tobacco lead, lead pencil, and plenty of minerality. This carries to a medium to full-bodied wine that has good concentration, nicely integrated acidity, a notable sense of purity and elegance, and plenty of grainy tannins. This elegant, focused Sassicaia will benefit from 7-8 years of bottle age and drink nicely over the following two decades or more. Reviewed by Jeb Dunnuck, Issue date: November 2019.

The 2016 Bolgheri 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. However, the results in the glass are extraordinarily different. The 2015 vintage is exuberant, round, succulent and immediate, whereas the 2016 vintage shows pinpoint sharpness and precision (with similar grit and texture at the back). 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. Reviewed by Monica Larner. Issue date: January 2019.

The 2016 Sassicaia is one of the most powerful, imposing young Sassicaias I can remember tasting. Explosive and vibrant with stunning depth, the 2016 possesses off-the-charts aromatic intensity, richness and structure, all in a mid-weight style that is so distinctive. Plum, lavender, rose petal, spice and mint all build into the explosive, deep finish in this potent wine. Reviewed by Antonio Galloni, Issue date: July 2019. Drinking window: 2024 - 2041.
