Description
Sassicaia 2017 Rosso Bolgheri DOC half bottle
Sassicaia 2017 in half bottle format is a proposal of great charm signed by Tenuta San Guido, capable of uniting prestige, territorial identity, and rigorous winemaking style. This Rosso Bolgheri DOC stands out for its authoritative and harmonious profile, designed for those seeking an Italian wine with character, suitable for special moments but also for a more intimate tasting thanks to the reduced format.
Territory and wine style
Produced in the Bolgheri area of Tuscany, Sassicaia 2017 precisely interprets the bond between territory and refinement. The Bolgheri DOC designation is associated with elegant reds, capable of combining structure, freshness, and aromatic depth. In this label, the style is clear: dry, composed, and oriented towards finesse, with a significant taste presence and a balance that enhances the sip without weighing it down.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red. The bouquet recalls ripe red fruits, berries, and cola, followed by aromatic herbs and toasted almonds. On the palate, the wine is austere, rich, and compact, with a sustained body and a good acidic component that accompanies its development. The taste progression leads to notes of dried fruit and concludes with a deep, long, and persistent finish, confirming a complex profile with great personality.
Recommended pairings
Sassicaia 2017 pairs well with structured and flavorful dishes, such as roasted or grilled red meats, braised dishes, game, and preparations with well-defined sauces. Excellent also with lamb, mushrooms, truffles, and aged cheeses, it finds an excellent place in an important dinner or in a tasting menu dedicated to great Tuscan reds. Its acidic texture and the richness of the sip make it suitable for intense yet balanced dishes.
Serving temperature
To best appreciate Sassicaia 2017, the ideal temperature is between 16 and 18°C. A short oxygenation time can be useful to promote the evolution of aromas and make the sip more relaxed, especially if the wine is served in a tasting context.
Why buy it
This half bottle of Sassicaia 2017 is an interesting choice for those who wish to buy wine online in a practical format, without giving up the prestige of an iconic label. It is ideal for a dedicated tasting, for a dinner for two, or to enrich the cellar with a high-profile reference, an authentic expression of Bolgheri and the style of Tenuta San Guido.
