APPEARANCE
Deep ruby-red colour.

NOSE
A highly perfumed and complex nose which features blackcurrant, blackberry jam, and plum, interwoven with savory notes of forest floor, cedar, tobacco leaf, and graphite.

Aged for 25 months in French oak barriques (roughly 45% new oak) before bottling.

PAIRING
Due to its firm structure and rich tannins, Sassicaia 2020 pairs best with a classic Fiorentina steak or herb-crusted roast lamb or wild boar ragù served over pappardelle.

APPEARANCE
Dark ruby red.

NOSE
It expresses an uncommon intensity and depth on the nose, with notes of licorice, cinnamon, camphor and pepper open to clearly fruity, jammy and spiced hints.

PALATE
A Mediterranean hint then opens to a rich, fresh and very long tasting. Well balanced thanks to a tannic texture of rare definition, it closes with a very persistent finish that returns on slightly vanilla notes.

AGEING
The separate lots mature 1 year in French oak barrels of various toast levels, half new and half once-used. The final blend is given additional rest in both large oak ovals and barrels for another 12 months.

PAIRING
Excellent with a fillet of beef with green pepper and especially meat-based pairings.
