What you will taste
Sassicaia began as a family experiment: Bordeaux grapes planted on stony Tuscan soil that everyone said was wrong for wine. It became the first wine of its kind in Italy and gave birth to the whole Super Tuscan movement. The 2015 comes from a warm, generous year: ripe cassis, cedar and violet, with velvet texture and tannins that promise decades. A landmark bottle in a landmark vintage.
The sommelier’s note
«Decant a full hour before dinner, it truly needs it. Serve at 17 degrees, slightly cooler than the room, and let the last glass show how far it has come.»

Pour it into a decanter as soon as it arrives. An hour of air turns power into velvet.
