Reviews and Ratings

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 98/100 with the following review:

The 2021 Sassicaia comes from an excellent vintage and exemplifies exactly what Tenuta San Guido is looking for, according to Priscilla Incisa della Rocchetta. The nose was still tight despite being double decanted for three hours. Nevertheless, you are met with a refreshing breath of moisture-laden meadow scents; hints of lavender and violets and some delicate savoury notes. The palate is equally fresh with light plum notes. The balance and the finesse of the palate are exquisite and you are rewarded with a delicate, lingering finish. Enjoy this wine with beef or duck with a light thyme scented jus.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
