Reviews
Wine Spectator Issue: Jul 31, 1996 Score: 90 More than 20 years old, yet so intense you almost need an extinguisher to put out its fiery flavors. From a very good year in Tuscany, it's sweet, ripe and full-bodied, featuring complex mineral, earth and mint character. Impressively concentrated and silky-textured, revealing its age by a slight dryness on aftertaste.--Sassicaia vertical. Drink now

Grape blend: 85 % Cabernet Sauvignon 15 % Cabernet Franc

Soil composition: The vineyards are planted on plots of land with different and composite
morphological characteristics, as well as with a strong presence of limestone. These
areas are also rich in rocks and rather rich in clay and are located at an altitude
between 100 and 300 meters above sea level, facing West - South/West.

Vine training: Cordon spur system

Planting density: Between 3.600 to 5.500 vine stocks/Ha.

Climate: A bit bizarre but overall good. Average temperature was rather high.

Wine making: Vinification took place in open Slavonian oak vats of 2 Hl and 54 Hl with a
maceration of about 8 – 9 days.

Ageing: 75% of the oak barrels used for ageing were made of Slavonian oak, while the
remaining 25% were new French Tronçais oak. The Yugoslavian oak barrels were
new for 30%, while 70% had been used once and twice before.
