Merchant's description

Sassicaia 1995 is a notable Supertuscan produced by Tenuta San Guido in Bolgheri, Tuscany. This vintage predominantly features 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, and is characterised by a deep ruby hue. Aromatically, it reveals notes of dark fruits, dried herbs and a hint of earthy undertones, reflecting the unique terroir of the region. The palate presents a full-bodied experience with defined tannins and a notable acidity that contributes to its structure.
