Castello Verrazzano Sassello 1990 - 0,75l

Castello Verrazzano Sassello 1990 is a beautifully matured Tuscan red that reflects the elegance and structure for which the region is famed. Crafted from Sangiovese, Canaiolo, and Colorino, it combines classic character with impressive depth, making it a special bottle for collectors and serious wine lovers alike.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red color with the kind of mature brightness that signals graceful ageing. The bouquet is layered and expressive, with ripe dark fruit, spice, and subtle tobacco notes unfolding over time. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, with well-integrated tannins, lively acidity, and a long, refined finish. Thanks to its structure and balance, it still has good ageing potential, though it is already drinking beautifully now. The wine’s evolution in bottle has added finesse and harmony, bringing extra nuance to its fruit and savory elements. Expect a polished, elegant profile rather than sheer power, with the finish lingering in a way that invites another sip.

Production
This wine comes from Tuscany, where the estate’s vineyards benefit from the region’s warm days, cooling nights, and soils well suited to Sangiovese-based wines. The grapes were harvested with care to preserve balance and varietal character, then vinified in a traditional style. After fermentation, the wine matured for 24 months in oak barrels and a further 12 months in bottle, allowing it to develop depth, complexity, and a smooth, integrated texture.

Food & Serving
Castello Verrazzano Sassello 1990 is an excellent match for roasted or grilled red meats, game, and mature cheeses. Serve it at 18–20°C to best express its aromas and structure. Decanting is recommended, especially if opened now, to help the wine fully раскры its aromatic layers and soften any remaining firmness.
