A benchmark vintage from one of Italy’s most iconic estates, the 2016 Sassicaia is a masterpiece of balance, precision, and longevity. Widely regarded as one of the greatest releases in the wine’s history, it showcases the unmistakable elegance that has defined Sassicaia for decades.

Deep ruby in color, the wine opens with layered aromas of blackcurrant, wild blackberry, and ripe plum, interwoven with notes of cedar, tobacco, graphite, and subtle Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is impeccably structured, with firm tannins, with the aromas and texture of the French oak complementing the whole experience.

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.
