Description

Sassicaia est probablement le vin qui a donné le plus de prestige à l'Italie vinicole contemporaine. Sa prodigieuse longévité relate d'elle même le potentiel des graves de la côte de la mer Tyrrhénienne, un terroir directement comparable aux meilleurs sols du Médoc. Sassicaia se distingue par ses arômes de cassis et de cèdre, par son élégance et sa persistance extraordinaires, et par sa structure qui lui permettra de se bonifier encore pendant des décennies. Un véritable vin de collectionneur, incontournable pour les amateurs de vins rouges italiens.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

"Having followed this wine's evolution in barrel for the past few years, it is an honor to evaluate the final product. This Sassicaia has blossomed since my previous encounters with it as a young, awkward adolescent. The long-awaited 2015 Bolgheri Sassicaia represents a tremendous effort that comes together with seamless precision and focus. This is a confident and proud red wine from Tuscany. Starting with the primary material at hand, you sense the quality of fruit thanks to the wine's beautifully dark appearance and the rich texture it offers to the palate. The acidity is integrated, but more freshness still would have been welcomed in my view (and would also contribute to its longevity). The bouquet is amplified both in terms of volume and length. Its playlist includes dark berry fruit, spice, leather, licorice and roasted coffee bean. Yet, the mouthfeel is extremely graceful and silky. The wine's undisputed pedigree is showcased on the palate. It should also be noted that this edition of Sassicaia feels more ready and open to me. It will age and evolve beautifully, but the 2015 Sassicaia can also be enjoyed in the medium-term. This wine is all about the here and now."
