About this product
Sassicaia's second wine, a Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend from younger Tenuta San Guido vineyards. Guidalberto delivers the estate's signature coastal Tuscan character — cassis, cedar, and mineral precision — in a more accessible style that is drinking beautifully within 5-8 years of the vintage.

complement
Bolgheri's coastal Tuscan red with Tuscan sheep's cheese is a regional pairing of genuine synergy; fig jam bridges the wine's cassis fruit while walnuts add savoury depth.
