Sassicaia is regarded as one of the most prestigious wines in the world. It is created in the exciting and fashionable Tuscan wine producing region of Bolgheri.
AROMA WITHOUT WATER
Rich fruits - hints of blackberries and red grapes, a delicate and rounded smokiness lingers. Fragrant with influences of honey, lavender and nutmeg develop. Complex and robust.
TASTE WITHOUT WATER
Mouth tingling - rich, smooth and very creamy, a pronounced smoky note comes to the fore. A subtle sweetness lingers.
AROMA WITH WATER
Remains fresh with malty aromas and hints of red berries. Influences of rum and dark chocolate become evident.
TASTE WITH WATER
Mouth warming - with a delicate hint of pepper, sweet vanilla flavours develop. Becomes drying and a subtle hint of peat lingers in the background.
