Product Description
"The 2002 vintage was considered one of the worst vintages ever to produce grapes. It was so rainy and wet that many producers decided not to produce wine in Bolgheri. Giacomo Tachis, Tenuta San Guido’s famous winemaker, was very concerned at the time about releasing this wine, but Marchese Nicolò Incisa Della Rocchetta believed in it. The 2002 still looks youthful and shows a good concentration and intensity of flavours. The fruit expression is cool, dark berried fruit with forest floor notes that call to mind the dark woods surrounding the original Castiglioncello vineyard. A strict selection took place and only 90,000 bottles were produced that year, whereas normally a typical production is between 200,000 to 240,000 bottles." SH for DR Nov 2022
