Bolgheri Sassicaia

2006 Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc

Sassicaia Bolgheri Sassicaia is a remarkable red wine that beautifully showcases the essence of its Bolgheri Sassicaia origin. With a medium body that offers an elegant yet substantial mouthfeel, this 2006 vintage displays vibrant acidity, perfectly balancing the wine's structure and enhancing its food-friendly nature. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark fruit flavors such as blackcurrant and plum, accompanied by subtle herbaceous notes and hints of cedar. The tannins are notable, providing a firm foundation that contributes to the wine's ageability. This wine is dry, allowing the complexity of its varietals—Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc—to shine through in every sip, making it a true gem of the region.
