2006 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia Bolgheri – A Defining Modern Tuscany Vintage

The 2006 Sassicaia stands as one of the great benchmark vintages from Tenuta San Guido, capturing the depth, structure, and coastal elegance that have made this wine a pillar of Italy’s fine wine landscape. Sourced from estate vineyards in Bolgheri, the 2006 release reflects the precision and restraint that define Sassicaia’s Bordeaux-inspired yet distinctly Tuscan character.

Tasting Notes

This vintage opens with aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, dried herbs, and subtle tobacco. The palate is structured and refined, shaped by firm tannins and lifted acidity. Layers of dark fruit, graphite, and mineral tension unfold with air, leading to a long, savoury finish that highlights the wine’s depth and aging potential.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Produced primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon with a portion of Cabernet Franc, the 2006 Sassicaia was vinified in temperature-controlled steel tanks and aged in French oak barriques for about two years. The gravelly soils of Bolgheri—reminiscent of those in the Medoc—influence its linear profile and aromatic clarity, while the maritime climate contributes balance and freshness.

Investment & Collectibility

The 2006 vintage is widely regarded as a modern classic for Sassicaia, consistently performing well in secondary markets and demonstrating impressive cellaring longevity. Its combination of regional pedigree, critical acclaim, and restrained production secures its appeal for collectors of Tuscany’s most important wines.

Vintage Insights & Accolades

2006 delivered a steady growing season with warm days, cool nights, and an ideal harvest window. Critics praise this vintage for its concentration, purity, and long-term structure.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The Tenuta San Guido 2006 Bolgheri Sassicaia is a timeless classic. This might just be the vintage to photograph in an encyclopedia entry for Sassicaia. This is especially true at this exact moment in its long and promising drinking window. The wine shows less volume compared to some of the more opulent vintages, but it absolutely excels in terms of length and finish. It offers amazing drive and momentum that are fueled by the extremely fine nature of the wine's texture and the seamless unity of its flavors. It treads in light and delicate footsteps that will carry it far into the future. As they say in Italian: "Piano piano si va lontano" (slowly slowly you go far). Reviewed by Monica Larner. Issue date: April 28, 2017. Drinking window: 2017-2035.

Vinous

The 2006 Sassicaia may very well go down as one of the all-time great recent vintages for this Tuscan thoroughbred. The year started off very warm but by August evening temperatures had moderated, leaving the fruit with a stunning combination of ripeness, perfume, acidity and tannin. The wine is simply glorious, that's all there is to it. Layers of dark fruit meld into smoke, leather, violets, menthol, earthiness and tar as this profound wine opens up in the glass. The creamy, silky finish lasts an eternity, as waves of fruit caress the tannins with breathtaking elegance. Everything is in the right place in this magical Sassicaia. This is one for the ages. In a word: Awesome. Reviewed by Antonio Galloni, August 2009. Drinking window: 2013 - 2031.
