Italy’s Super Tuscan Legend

🇮🇹 Power. Elegance. Sassicaia. 🇮🇹

The Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 1998 isn’t just wine—it’s Italian royalty in a glass. Born in Bolgheri, raised under the Tuscan sun, this Super Tuscan icon changed the game forever. The 1998 vintage? A perfectly aged powerhouse still flexing its muscle and finesse after all these years.

💥 Why You Need This Wine Because greatness ages like fine Italian leather—and Sassicaia 1998 proves it. A magnum of dense ruby brilliance, layered with currants, sage, and a little swagger.

“Lovely, subtle yet complex aromas... full-bodied with a solid core of fruit and well-integrated tannins.” – Wine Spectator, 95 points

👃 Nose: Currants, sage, green olives, cedar, licorice, and a spice box straight out of an Italian villa.

👄 Palate: Full-bodied. Rich. Balanced AF. Fruit-forward but elegant, with tannins so smooth they deserve their own passport.

🔥 Finish: Reserved but brooding—like a secret you can almost taste.
