About this product
Italy's most famous Bordeaux-style red, a Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet Franc blend from the unique Sassicaia sub-DOC. The wine's distinctive character — cassis, blackcurrant leaf, cedar, tobacco, and mineral precision — reflects the Bolgheri coastal terroir and 80 years of winemaking refinement. Ageable for 25+ years.
