Sassicaia needs no introduction and the 2012 vintage is another exceptional example.
Beautifully balanced, showing classic Bolgheri character with dark cherry, cassis and subtle cedar, along with that unmistakable savoury edge of tobacco, spice and dried herbs. On the palate it’s refined and seamless, with polished tannins, fresh acidity and a long, elegant finish that just keeps unfolding. It’s powerful without being heavy, and showcases tertiary notes such as wild truffle and flint.

Terroir
Most of the hard work it takes to produce quality wine happens in the vinyard. The soil, the climatic conditions, the aspect, the bodies of water and many more factors, collectively knwon as "terroir" can influence the flavour of wine and give wine distint minerality, depth and character.
