Profumo

Perfume

Nose from "tombeur de femmes", bewitching in the memories of wild fruits and fine spices in profusion, marine stain, mocha and nutmeg. In the mouth it is the pure expression of a great vintage, which in some way makes us predict what the public expects next year with the presentation of his older brother Sassicaia.

Colore

Color

Ruby with shining chromatism.

Gusto

The One That Started It All...You’ve heard it before, Sassicaia is the most collectible Italian wine to come out of the Boot. The now historic wine is single-handedly responsible for launching the Super Tuscan movement and remains one of the most sought-after wines in the world. Marchese Nicolò Incisa della Rocchetta continues the 36 year old tradition at the Tenuta San Guido estate, which is considered by many to be the birthplace of Tuscan Cabernet. He is NOT influenced by the international demand to create a super-extracted, monster red wine; instead, he continues to produce the most elegant Super Tuscan there is! Read more

Harvest The manual harvest began with Merlot at the end of August and continued in September with the Cabernet Sauvignon.

Wine making Careful manual selection of grapes on a sorting table. Soft pressing and destemming of the bunches to prevent the cracking of the berries and excessive release of tannins. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature maintained around 26-28 ° C, without addition of external yeasts. The macerations of this vintage lasted about 12 5 days for Merlot and 10 3 days for the Cabernet Sauvignon. This was made in order to limit the excessive release of tannins in a vintage richer in anthocyanins. Frequent pumpovers and délestages helped the aromatic expression of the musts.
Aging The malolactic fermentation begun in early November and was carried out in stainless steel vats. After that the musts were transferred into barriques for aging.
