Tasting Notes & Profile
This wine displays a deep ruby to garnet hue. The nose is intense and captivating, delivering complex layers of blackcurrant, cedar, graphite, wild berries, and a hint of mint. The palate is majestically structured, full-bodied, and rich, yet perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity and fine, silky tannins. Its exceptional length and structure make it a cellar investment.
Pairing & Serving Suggestions
- Service Temperature: 60-64°F (16-18°C).
- Decanting: Highly recommended (2+ hours) for younger vintages.
- Cellar Potential: Outstanding (20+ years).
Sassicaia is the only Italian wine from a single estate to boast its own DOC (Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC). It demands a pairing with equally high-caliber cuisine.
