Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2020 Bolgheri D.O.C.

Denomination: D.O.C. Bolgheri Sassicaia (D.O.C. Sassicaia)

Grapes: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon 15% Cabernet Franc

Winemaking notes: Selection of grapes via sorting table. Soft and delicate pressing and destemming of the grapes, taking care not to break the skin of the grapes. Subsequent tumultuous fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of around 28° -30°C (without any addition of external yeasts). The macerations were continued for approximately 13-15 hours for both the Cabernet Franc and the Cabernet Sauvignon. Pumping over and frequent délestages favored the aromatic extraction over the tannic one. Malolactic fermentation in steel completed at the end of November. Aging: At the end of the malolactic fermentation the wine was placed in French oak barriques (one third new wood and the rest, first and second passage) where it spent a period of aging of 24 months in compliance with the production regulations, always keeping the masses separate by vineyard origin. Assembly of the masses shortly before being destined for the preparatory phases of bottling and subsequent refinement phase in glass before marketing
