SASSICAIA 1983
Grape blend: 85 % Cabernet Sauvignon 15 % Cabernet Franc
Climate: Slightly abnormal, average rainfall, cool temperatures and moderate sunshine.
Wine making: 10 – day maceration in temperature controlled steel vats of 75 hl and 120 hl. The maceration was relatively short as the skins were not very thick and there was not an abundance of extractable substances. The malolactic fermentation was over by November 15th. The wine had a medium structure, but certainly not full bodied.
Ageing: 70% of the wine aged 22 months in French (Tronçais and a small percentage of Allier) oak barrels (75% new and the rest having been used one or twice before). The remaining wine aged in Yugoslavian oak 1/3 new, and the rest used once or twice before.
Manufacturer: Vini d'annata
