Sassicaia 2023 is a remarkably poised expression of this iconic Bolgheri estate, combining the wine’s trademark elegance with an unusual openness and generosity in youth. Aromas of dark berries, wild herbs, rose petal and subtle spice unfold gradually, alongside hints of crushed stone and Mediterranean scrub. The palate is refined yet layered, with silky tannins, bright acidity and the mineral tension that has long defined the finest vintages of Sassicaia. Produced from cabernet sauvignon with a small proportion of cabernet franc, the 2023 reflects a challenging growing season that demanded rigorous selection in the vineyard, resulting in reduced yields but exceptional concentration and clarity. Despite its depth and structure, the wine retains remarkable freshness and finesse, capturing the distinctive balance that sets Sassicaia apart from many of its Bolgheri peers. A compelling and beautifully composed vintage with superb ageing potential. Drink from 2028 to 2040. 14%
