Tenuta San Guido is a winery located in the heart of Tuscany, Italy. It is known for producing some of the finest wines in the region and its winemaker, Nicolo Incisa della Rocchetta, is considered one of the best in the business.
The winery was founded in the 1940s by Nicolo’s grandfather, Mario Incisa della Rocchetta. He was a visionary who saw the potential of producing Bordeaux-style wines in Tuscany. He planted Cabernet Sauvignon vines on the property and began experimenting with winemaking techniques. Over the years, the winery has become synonymous with quality and innovation. Nicolo has continued his grandfather’s legacy by using modern winemaking techniques to produce wines that are both elegant and complex. One of the most notable wines produced by Tenuta San Guido is Sassicaia. This wine is considered to be one of the best Cabernet Sauvignon blends in the world. It is made from grapes grown on a single vineyard and aged for 24 months in French oak barrels. The result is a wine that is rich, full-bodied and bursting with flavor. Another remarkable wine produced by Tenuta San Guido is Guidalberto. This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and is aged for 15 months in French oak barrels. It’s a more accessible wine than Sassicaia, but still exhibits the same level of quality and complexity.
