Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2018, Bolgheri, Italy

Sassicaia 2018 is like the chic younger sibling who’s somehow already cooler and more accomplished than their older counterparts. Fresh-faced but with a depth that makes you wonder, “How do they know all this already?” It saunters in with a bouquet of blackberries, currants, and just the right amount of floral charm—like it knows exactly how to make an entrance without trying too hard. On the palate, it’s a balancing act of ripe red fruit, subtle spice, and an undercurrent of minerality, like someone who spends their weekends at art galleries and makes you feel like you should start reading more. As it opens up, earthy notes and a whisper of tobacco show that it’s not just a pretty face—it’s got some serious character hiding behind that youthful glow. Perfect for when you want to impress the table with something that’s both approachable and sophisticated, Sassicaia 2018 says, “Yes, I’m young, but I’ve already got this whole world-class wine thing down.”
