Sassicaia 2020

This is a classic blend from Sassicaia, comprising 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. The vintage began with a cool start but ended with warm and dry conditions in August. Bottled in early January 2023, the aromatics of this wine exhibit a plush and opulent character, distinguishing it from some cooler vintages. However, the wine`s purity and precision remain as stunning as ever, offering a captivating bouquet of rose petals, lavender, black plum compote, fruit cake, and a medley of blackberry nuances. The palate delivers a lavish and indulgent experience, unveiling layers of earthy black cherry, liquorice, dried fennel, tangy black currant, and an alluring reductive saline essence reminiscent of crème de cassis.
