Sassicaia

2019 Bolgheri Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc

The 2019 Sassicaia, a stunning blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, hails from the renowned Bolgheri region of Italy. This red wine captivates with its deep, ruby color and an inviting bouquet that exudes aromas of ripe dark fruit, accompanied by hints of tobacco and subtle earthiness, creating a complex olfactory experience. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied structure, characterized by well-integrated tannins that provide a firm backbone and a sense of elegance. The acidity is bright and lively, enhancing the wine’s freshness and balance, while the fruit intensity is pronounced, leaving a lasting impression. This exceptional vintage is beautifully dry, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes and an impressive choice for any wine enthusiast.

Italy's rich food and wine heritage is nowhere better demonstrated than historic Tuscany. You can eat and drink like a king here—ideally on a grand terrazza overlooking medieval hillsides strewn with olive and cypress trees. From mouthwatering whites for sipping with antipasti, to sophisticated reds that elevate the meat dishes of Florence (and of course leaving room for sweet Vin Santo with dessert), Tuscany has it all. Sangiovese is the region's star grape, giving us not just Chianti, but also Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and the epic Super Tuscan blends.
