Sassicaia 1.5L

This elegant red pairs well with rich meat dishes, such as beef and venison, complementing the wine's bold and structured profile.

The 2020 vintage reflects the unique terroir of Coastal Tuscany, benefiting from bright luminosity and warm Mediterranean offshore breezes. These conditions contribute to the ripeness and soft fruit weight of the wine.

The wine was aged in French oak barrels, contributing to its complexity and structure.

The winemaking process for the 2016 Sassicaia involved meticulous selection of grapes, fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and aging in French oak barrels to enhance complexity and structure.

For a long time Bolgheri's Castiglioncello was used as Sassicaia's winery as it was the closest building to the vineyards at more than 300 m a.s.l..But as new vineyards were planted at greater distances and lower altitudes, a new larger winery had to follow. The new, more central location was decided in the 1960s. This is where it can be found today, on the cypress alley, close to the San Guido Oratory, which gives the estate its name. A third smaller winery was built in 2007 by architect Agnese Mazzei, it houses the barriques for the ageing of the Sassicaia.
