Sassicaia 2018
/ #68153780
Sassicaia has achieved the status of a reference point in Tuscany, and is classified as Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC. Production is centered around Cabernet Sauvignon with a minor touch of Cabernet Franc, grown on gravelly soils near the coast in Bolgheri. The wine is typically aged for around 24 months in French barriques, with a period in bottle before release, which contributes to structure and complexity.
2018 was characterised by moderate temperatures and a long growing season in the area, which has produced elegant wines with freshness, balanced fruit and clear minerality. Sassicaia from this vintage has generally received recognition for its precision and classic style, including 97 points from Wine Advocate and 97 points from Vinous. The ageing potential is considerable, and constant development is expected over the next 15-20 years.
