⚠️ Important information on the sale of rare and collectible bottles

Bottles of this type come from our cellar reserves or from private collections, acquired through lots from auction houses, wine shops, and merchants specializing in rare and aged wines.

Given the age of these bottles and any storage conditions prior to acquisition, it is not possible to guarantee that the wine is still perfectly preserved or that its organoleptic characteristics have remained unaltered over time.

Before being put up for sale, Pierbacco verifies, as far as possible, the provenance and history of the bottle and guarantees that the external condition of the product matches the description and photographs published on the relevant page.

The sale therefore concerns a vintage bottle, offered in the condition described and documented in the product sheet. Any alteration of the contents due to age, previous storage, or the natural evolution of the wine cannot be ruled out.

Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 2014 Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC Magnum 1.5 L – Wooden Case

A great vintage of Sassicaia in Magnum format, presented in its wooden case: an iconic label representing Italian oenological excellence, sought after by enthusiasts and collectors of great Bolgheri wines.

🍷 Product and winery description

Sassicaia 2014 is a prestigious red wine produced by Tenuta San Guido, a historic winery located in Bolgheri, on the Tuscan coast. It is one of the most representative names in the Italian and international wine scene, renowned for its elegance, finesse, and ability to evolve over time.

The 2014 vintage was characterized by unusual weather conditions that required great care in the vineyard. The gradual ripening of the grapes and the good conditions achieved during the harvest helped create a wine with a refined, aromatic, and fresh profile.

The blend consists of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. After controlled-temperature steel fermentation and malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for approximately 24 months in French oak barriques before being rested in the bottle.

The 1.5-liter Magnum format and wooden case give the bottle particular collectible value and a prestigious presentation, suitable for important occasions and collections dedicated to great Italian reds.
