@MI6 · Elegance & Power: Sassicaia and Saffredi Through the Years

The wine's expressive nature is marked by a rich blend of caramel, peach, coffee, and wet cellar notes, further enriched by an abundance of pine nuts. Its rich profile is characterized by a notable heaviness in both texture and flavour intensity. This robustness, compounded by a lack of acidity, makes the wine quite substantial, suggesting that it may be best enjoyed with food to balance its pronounced characteristics.

Wine #13 on Elegance & Power: Sassicaia and Saffredi Through the Years event.
