This half bottle of Sassicaia 2015 features a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. The wine presents a clear ruby hue, typical of the vintage. Aromas of red fruit dominate the nose, with notable hints of cassis and subtle oak influence. On the palate, it reveals layered fruit characteristics, including strawberries and blackcurrants, underpinned by a structure of refined tannins and notable acidity. Sassicaia, produced by Tenuta San Guido, is often regarded as one of Italy’s pioneering Supertuscan wines, with roots dating back to its inaugural release in 1968.
