SASSICAIA 2017

Sassicaia 2017 is one of the most renowned gems of Italian viticulture, produced at the prestigious Tenuta San Guido in the coastal region of Bolgheri, Tuscany. This wine represents the perfect balance between tradition and modernity, standing out for its refined structure and depth.

The 2017 vintage continues this legacy, offering a unique experience of elegance and longevity, consolidating its position as one of the great classics of Italian wine.

TASTING NOTES

COLOR: A wine of an intense ruby red, with a depth that evokes the richness of Tuscany. In the glass there are glints that hint at vibrant youth, but also the promise of future complexity. As the light passes through it, one can perceive violet reflections that bring freshness and dynamism.

NOSE: The perfume of the 2017 Sassicaia is a subtle interplay of aromas that unfolds slowly. At first, ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, give way to an elegant herbal layer, reminiscent of the Bolgheri sea breeze. Over time, spicy notes of black pepper and a slight hint of tobacco emerge, intertwined with the memory of soft leather and a touch of licorice. An almost imperceptible mineral finish, like dry earth under the Toledo sun, gives a distinctive character to this wine.

TASTE: On the palate, the 2017 Sassicaia displays a serene and robust structure. Firm yet delicate tannins integrate perfectly with the vibrant acidity that lends freshness and length to the wine. The texture is velvety, with a natural elegance that makes each sip flow effortlessly. The long, lingering aftertaste reveals ripe red fruits that marry with a touch of well-integrated oak, leaving a sense of refined balance.
