Sassicaia 1985

Sassicaia 1985 is a mature-vintage Supertuscan blend from `Tenuta San Guido in the Bolgheri region of Tuscany. Produced since the 1968 vintage, Tenuta San Guido`s Sassicaia is one of the world`s most iconic Cabernets, produced from organically farmed vineyards close to the Tuscan coast in Bolgheri. 1985 will go down as one of the greatest ever vintages in Tuscany, with next-to-ideal weather conditions throughout the year. This vintage was matured in 40% in Slavonian oak barrels and 60% French Tronçais barrels, with a small proportion of Allier. The percentage of new wood was 65%. The wine remained in barrels for 22 months.
