1985: the year which started the tradition of the famous Sassicaia, known to history after beating the French premeries crus in a now famous blinded tasting in France.
Sassicaia is undoubtedly one of the most famous Italian wines in the world. It comes from a vineyard of 75 hectares particularly suited, with limestone formations and a high stony content, a particularity from which the toponym “sassicaia” probably derives. The land is exposed to the south-west. Fermentation takes place in steel, at a controlled temperature, with maceration on the skins for about 10 days. The aging of Tenuta San Guido's Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC takes place in French oak barrels for 24 months, with subsequent passage in the bottle.
The color is a deep purple. The bouquet is strong with secondary aromas of cedar and truffle,cassis, raspberry, blackberry, tar, with a typical toasty personality. Exceptionally dense, concentrated, and full-bodied, this wine possesses layers of concentrated fruit that are beautifully balanced by the sweet tannins and well-integrated acidity. The finish lasts for more than a minute. The favorite wine ever drink by Robert Parker.
To pair with game and red meat.
