1988 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia Bolgheri 3 LITER

The weather in 1988 was characterised by generally high temperatures and sunny days throughout the season, until the final stage of grape ripening. During the month of August, there were a number of peaks in the temperature, which rose above the seasonal average.

The grapes from the '88 harvest, in addition to being very healthy, had a very thick skin, rich in polyphenols and glucosidic substances, which gave the must its character of colour and flavour a completely individual character.
