Castello di Titignano Salviano Turlo Lago di Corbara 2019
Chip Wine
Varietal Composition: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc The 2020 is a beautiful vintage of Sassicaia that presents itself at a young age with a marked acidity and freshness and beautiful complexity both on the nose and in the mouth. It identifies the style of elegance typical of Sassicaia in which the structure never dominates the elegance and flavor of the wine. The bouquet is especially intriguing with a very lively plummy fruit element that is enhanced by baker's chocolate, pepper spice, iron ore, caramel, and pie crust. The tannins, although noble and silky, require a longer period of maturation in glass compared to other previous years, but already at a young age the wine presents itself with a beautiful freshness and harmony. James Suckling 97 points; Wine Spectator 97 points; Robert Parker 96 points.

The entry into the mouth is enveloping, warm and soft, the tannins elegant and the persistence long and unforgettable embellished with a delicious sapidity. The body, finesse and harmony make it a wine with extraordinary potential. James Suckling 98 points; Wine Enthusiast 94 points
