🏛️ A legend of Bolgheri—refined, age-worthy, and unmistakably noble.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with garnet reflections—dense, radiant, and regal.

👃 On the Nose:
Complex and aristocratic. Aromas of cassis, black cherry, cedar, and violet intertwine with graphite, leather, sweet tobacco, and a whisper of wild herbs and spice.

👅 On the Palate:
Silky yet structured. Layers of dark fruit, mint, and savoury minerals are supported by polished tannins and vibrant acidity. The mouthfeel is poised and long, with echoes of forest floor, balsamic notes, and a mineral-driven elegance that persists beautifully.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with dry-aged beef, venison, truffle dishes, or slow-cooked lamb. A wine for elevated cuisine and timeless pairings.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Magnificent now with decanting, yet destined to evolve gracefully for 20–30 years, gaining further nuance, harmony, and complexity.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Sassicaia is not just a wine—it’s a benchmark. The original Super Tuscan, it marries Bordeaux pedigree with Tuscan soul, delivering elegance, depth, and enduring greatness vintage after vintage. A collector’s icon, and a connoisseur’s treasure.
