Sassicaia is the original Bolgheri Super Tuscan. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon/15% Cabernet Franc. The 2020 vintage does not disappoint and has received impressive scores from the experts. The grapes were hand sorted to eliminate any imperfections. Alcoholic fermentation was carried out at controlled temeratures not exceeding 27-28 degrees Celcius with no usage of external yeasts. Malolactic fermentation took place in steel tanks and when completed, the wine was placed in oak barriques using 45% new wood, 45% first passage and 10% second passage. After more than 25 months of ageing in wood, the wine was decanted into stainless steel tanks before final blending and then bottled. (Holiday Tax Exempt)
