Sassicaia 2019

The 2019 Sassicaia is an Italian red wine from the Bolgheri region of Tuscany. It is produced by the Tenuta San Guido winery, which is known for its excellence in producing high quality wines.

This wine is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (85%) and Cabernet Franc (15%) grapes and is fermented in stainless steel tanks for about 15 days before being transferred to French oak barrels, where it ages for about 24 months. Once bottled, it is left to rest in the cellar for additional time before being released to the market.

The 2019 Sassicaia has a deep dark red color with purple hues. On the nose, intense aromas of ripe black fruits, such as plum and currant, along with notes of spice and toasted wood. The palate is powerful, structured and balanced, with firm tannins and well-integrated acidity. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a pleasant, smooth sensation on the palate.

This wine is ideal for pairing with red meats, especially cuts such as steak, as well as lamb, game and hard cheeses. It is a wine of high quality and complexity that can age well in the bottle for several years, making it an excellent choice for wine collectors and wine lovers who appreciate elegance and sophistication.
