“Opaque red. Balsamic aromas.Like its coffee flavours. A Sassicaia 375ml that was served as dessert of a good meal. I gave it to my parents and we tried it together.”

“I opened this wine with my best friend. Twinkling cherry colour. Aromas of walnuts and hazelnuts. I noticed some good roughness in the mouth. I am convinced that any meat will suit.”

“At a dinner with other couples. Good colour. A red that smells of cherry and licorice. I noticed a licorice flavour. A 2013 goes fine with snacks.”

“It was part of a wine tasting. Deep Burgundy colour. The aromas of coffee and toffee predominate. It's quite dense, I liked it. Sassicaia pairs very well with a spicy fish .”

“excellent quality / price”

“Good aromas of ripe fruit. I had it cooled and it tasted both, fresh and soft. Abundant and full-bodied, really nice.”

“Just drunk. Nothing to say, wine perfect with no defects. Not worth the cost, however. Absolutely not good value for money. With that money you can buy other wines. Price is right for me 60 euro.”

“One of the most important vintages, from my simple point of view!”
