Sassicaia 1999 is a full-bodied, mature Supertuscan wine that presents a distinctive profile characterised by aromas of blackcurrant, cedar and a hint of graphite. The palate showcases a full-bodied structure with firm, velvety tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is noteworthy for its lingering notes of dark fruit and a subtle herbal quality. Produced by Tenuta San Guido, Sassicaia was among the first Italian wines to receive the prestigious DOC status, in 1994. This vintage pairs effectively with rich dishes like braised lamb shank or earthy mushroom risotto.
