Merchant's description
This Sassicaia 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of the Super Tuscan’s very first vintage from 1968. With a vivid red colour, the wine has pleasant aromas of black berries, herbs and citrus fruits. On the palate, it’s mouth-watering, with silky tannins and a subtle salinity. Although it’s still very young, the wine is so well-balanced that it can be enjoyed now.
