Sassicaia 1979
/ #60337302
This wine comes from a producer who has played a major role in the development of quality wine in the Bolgheri area of Tuscany. The vineyards are located a few kilometers from the coast, which provides a unique microclimate where Cabernet Sauvignon in particular thrives. Since the first vintage in 1968, the wine has distinguished itself as one of the most recognized wines from the area, and it has the official classification as DOC Bolgheri Sassicaia .
The 1979 vintage was generally characterised by stable growing conditions in Tuscany with moderate warmth, resulting in wines with fine structure and balanced acidity. The style here is classic with a focus on elegance rather than excessive extraction, and ageing in French oak is typically used, contributing subtle notes of cedar and tobacco. Even after several decades, this vintage has the potential for significant development, with the tertiary notes clearly emerging and fresh fruit having discreetly retreated in favour of more complex aromas.
