Merkki: Vini d'annata

Grape blend: 85 % Cabernet Sauvignon 15 % Cabernet Franc

Climate: The climate in 1989 was not perfectly balanced for the ripening of the grapes. The summer was humid and we suffered undesired rain late in the season. The climate certainly affected the overall metabolism of the vine, but fortunately the microclimate of Sassicaia’s vineyards was helpful to mitigate its full effect.

Harvest: The grapes were healthy and mature with a noticeable thick skin, although not abundant in tannins.

Wine making: The winemaking took place without any microbiological problems, with a maceration of approximately 13 days. The must was very interesting for its overall composition.

Ageing: The wine was transferred in barriques on the 15th of november where it stayed for 20 months, and then it was bottled. The barriques were 40% new. The bottling of the wine was done three months earlier than usual to the advantage of the wine.
