Tenuta San Guido

The Tenuta San Guido Estate in Bolgheri is the home of the highly sought-after Sassicaia. It was the Marchese Mario Incisa della Rochetta, father of Niccolo, the present owner of the Estate, who pioneered the introduction of non-native vines into the Italian wine scene.

In 1968 Sassicaia - a wine which has Cabernet Sauvignon as its primary component and uses French oak barrique ageing methods - was first released and the rest, as they say, is history. The “Super Tuscan” was born and the fame and reputation of Sassicaia has only continued to grow. Guidalberto is a true second wine and gives earlier drinking pleasure than the first wine, while Le Difese is the estate's entry level offering. All of these wines are in very short supply and sold on allocation only.
