Sassicaia from Magnum at Vinous Icons: Italy

I have tasted Sassicaia from magnum a few times over the years. But never ten vintages at once. This vertical tasting of Tenuta San Guido’s Sassicaia, held at the inaugural edition of Vinous Icons: Italy, provided an incredible opportunity to do just that. The selection of vintages spanned many of the classics, with some lesser-known vintages sprinkled into the mix. And of course, in Vinous style, we finished with the 1985, the wine that put Sassicaia and Bolgheri on the map.

2024 Avignonesi Rosso Da-Di

2024 Avignonesi Rosso Da-Di, 91 points

Crushed cherries meet rose petals, navel orange and cedar shavings as the 2024 Rosso Da-Di blossoms in the glass. A citrus twang elevates crisp wild berry fruits and violet inner florals. The perfumed finish delivers lovely length, hints of tart strawberry and a tactile mineral crunch. (EG)
