Tenuta San Guido - Sassicaia 2018 (750ml)
Tenuta San Guido Description
Accurate selection of the grapes both in the field, during harvest, and upon arrival in the cellar on the sorting table. Soft crushing-destemming and introduction of the musts into the stainless steel tanks.
Spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of around 26°/27°C (without the addition of any yeast). Maceration in this vintage was prolonged for about 13-15 days for the Cabernet Franc and 15-17 days for the Cabernet Sauvignon. Frequent pumping of oxygen and délestages repeated daily during primary fermentation resulted in musts of great elegance and marked acidity. Malolactic fermentation took place in steel vats starting in the first ten days of November and was completed at the end of the month, allowing the musts to be introduced into wood from the first ten days of December 2018.
Once malolactic fermentation was complete, the wine was placed in French oak barriques, and a small part in American oak, where it was aged for a period between the 20 and 25 months. The duration of the ageing is technically decided on the basis of the seasonal trend of the vintage. The 2018 vintage has been in barriques for 24 months
