TENUTA SAN GUIDO

Tenuta San Guido is one of Italy’s most prestigious wine estates, located in Bolgheri, Tuscany. It is best known for producing Sassicaia, the legendary Super Tuscan that revolutionized Italian winemaking. Founded by Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, the estate was a pioneer in introducing Bordeaux-style wines to Italy, planting Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc in the 1940s.

Sassicaia, first released commercially in 1968, quickly gained international recognition for its elegance, structure, and aging potential. Its success led to the creation of the Bolgheri DOC and set the benchmark for Super Tuscan wines. In addition to Sassicaia, Tenuta San Guido produces Guidalberto, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot offering a more approachable yet refined expression, and Le Difese, a fresher, fruit-driven wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese.

The estate’s wines are celebrated for their balance of power and finesse, showcasing deep flavors of blackcurrant, spice, tobacco, and Mediterranean herbs. With meticulous vineyard management and traditional winemaking methods, Tenuta San Guido continues to be a symbol of excellence in Italian wine.
