About this Item

Tenuta San Guido
2011 Sassicaia
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

The now historic wine is single-handedly responsible for launching the Super Tuscan movement and remains one of the most sought-after wines in the world. After decades of experimentation, the first vintage was released in 1968. Marchese Nicolò Incisa della Rocchetta continues the decades of tradition today at Tenuta San Guido, which is considered by many to be the birthplace of Tuscan Cabernet.

The 2011 vintage of Sassicaia is highly regarded for its exceptional quality.

Critics Ratings

‘Mid glowing ruby. Complex, subtle nose. Really juicy and appetising – and still quite youthful! This one will run and run and at the moment is just coming out of its shell – with the odd iodine note. Not a blockbuster but very well judged.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18.5/20 (Sep 2022)

‘Ripe black cherry and blackberry flavors pick up rosemary, mineral and spice accents in this red, which is concentrated and intense, fresh and focused. Racy midpalate, this leans toward black currant and cedar notes on the solid finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2017 through 2030.’ - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Enthusiast, 95/100 (Oct 2014)

‘The 2011 Bolgheri Sassicaia speaks to a broad, yet very distinct audience. I am absolutely charmed by this vintage. Soft cherry and blackberry confit emerge from the bouquet in thick, luscious waves. Leather, spice and tar play supporting roles. The wine offers a generous and expansive style. It also shows impressive balance and coherent inner integrity. This vintage certainly bears the hallmarks of a hot vintage, but it never feels overdone. It delivers volume, intensity and rich texture. This Sassicaia is a wine of enormous craftsmanship.’ - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, 94+/100 (Apr 2017)
