The Tuscan estate of Tenuta San Guido released their first Sassicaia, the world’s first Super Tuscan, in 1968. It took them nearly 30 years to develop a worthy understudy but, under their Guidalberto label, they’ve crafted today’s delicious, approachable and affordable masterpiece. Sassicaia wines are never drinkable upon release. They require a decade or longer before they are ready to enjoy. Today’s wine is a Baby Sassicaia, which means that it is ready to drink now. The wine is still very age-worthy, but unlike its grandfather, Sassicaia, this wine can be enjoyed upon receipt.

Decant this youthful but very well balanced wonder for optimal results, and you’ll be rewarded with a more elegant experience with softer flavors, better presence of fruit and fuller aromatics.
