This vintage reflects a warm yet balanced growing season in Bolgheri, where gravelly soils and Mediterranean breezes lend vibrant freshness and structural tension to the grapes. The blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with a smaller proportion of Cabernet Franc yields a wine marked by concentrated dark fruit and refined aromatic complexity. On the nose it opens with ripe red currant, blackberry, cedar and hints of Mediterranean herbs, countered by subtle mineral notes and spice. The palate is composed and articulate, framed by polished tannins and lively acidity that support layered flavour without heaviness. Its texture is silky yet firm, revealing a core of dark fruit, tobacco, graphite and balsamic spice that unfolds with harmony and focus. Long in finish, the 2022 Sassicaia promises both immediate allure and extended cellar potential, embodying balance and longevity in equal measure. Pair with richly flavoured roasted meats, game or mature cheeses to fully appreciate its refined structure and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1367\" data-end=\"1536\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1367\" data-end=\"1384\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1384\" data-end=\"1387\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1387\" data-end=\"1395\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1395\" data-end=\"1398\"\u003e– Elegant and layered\u003cbr data-start=\"1419\" data-end=\"1422\"\u003eAromas of ripe blackberry and red currant interwoven with cedar, iron, fresh Mediterranean herbs and subtle spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1538\" data-end=\"1735\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1538\" data-end=\"1548\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1548\" data-end=\"1551\"\u003e– Rich yet composed\u003cbr data-start=\"1570\" data-end=\"1573\"\u003eMedium to full-bodied with concentrated dark fruit, graphite and tobacco notes framed by vibrant acidity and finely polished tannins that add structure and poise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1737\" data-end=\"1902\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1737\" data-end=\"1747\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1747\" data-end=\"1750\"\u003e– Long and harmonious\u003cbr data-start=\"1771\" data-end=\"1774\"\u003eA persistent, refined finish of balsamic spice, mineral tension and dark fruit depth that suggests considerable aging potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1904\" data-end=\"2342\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1904\" data-end=\"1927\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1927\" data-end=\"1930\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Simply brilliant in this vintage, showing a remarkable level of poise and freshness.
