Description

Deep and brooding, this wine takes a little while for the rich, sweet blackcurrant fruit to come through on the nose. However the palate explodes with unctuous fruit at the first taste. This is not an overpowering wine though; there is a firm backbone of acidity and ripe tannin, and the finish is long and complex..

Tenuta San Guido

Tenuta San Guido's journey to becoming one of the world's most sought-after fine wines is largely owed to the vision and dedication of Mario Incisa della Rocchetta. The estate's origins trace back to his wife's family, who had owned land in Bolgheri since 1800. The name "Sassicaia," meaning "place of many stones," reflects the gravelly soil reminiscent of the Médoc region in France.
