Sassicaia 2019 delivers aristocratic precision with haunting mineral complexity.
The aromatics unfold like a carefully orchestrated symphony, revealing layers of cassis and blackberry liqueur wrapped in cedar and graphite minerality. Mediterranean garrigue weaves through the bouquet with wild thyme and rosemary notes. On the palate, this wine possesses remarkable architectural structure - the tannins feel like polished marble, providing framework without aggression. Dark fruit concentration mingles with tobacco leaf and subtle baking spices, while a distinctive metallic thread runs throughout. The finish extends magnificently, leaving traces of dark chocolate and crushed herbs that linger for minutes.
🍷 You appreciate wines that whisper rather than shout, combining Tuscan terroir with Bordeaux-style refinement.
Pairs with: Bistecca alla Fiorentina with rosemary, Wild boar ragu with pappardelle, Aged pecorino with chestnut honey, Herb-crusted rack of lamb
