Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC is made with a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. It is aged for 24 months in French oak barriques, followed by a further aging period in the bottle.
In the glass, it appears with an intense ruby red color, with garnet hues if from a previous vintage. On the nose, it immediately expresses fruity notes of ripe cherries, black currants, and blackberries, alongside hints of Mediterranean scrub, such as rosemary, and a potpourri of dried flowers, tobacco, and cocoa. On the palate, it is balanced and harmonious, elegant with well-integrated tannins and a freshness that makes it full-bodied. It impresses with its persistence.
Sassicaia is a wine that does not fear time; rather, it benefits from it. Ideal for special occasions, it pairs wonderfully with refined main courses of red meats or game.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 18-20°C.
