    In the 1920s, the Marquis Incisa della Rochetta wanted to create a "noble" wine, i.e., one that was close to the taste of Bordeaux wines. On his estate of Tenuta San Guido, located in Maremma (coastal Tuscany), he had Cabernet Sauvignon (85% today) planted, convinced by their racy tannic structure and their durability. The climate, cooled by the sea breeze from the Mediterranean 5 km away and by the altitude (100 to 400 m), is particularly conducive to a slow maturation of the Cabernet berries.

    All the wines of Tenuta San Guido are built around Cabernet Sauvignon as the main grape variety, combined with another minority variety. Sassicaia, a pioneer in the super-Tuscan movement that followed, gained international recognition in 1971 and has never lost it since.

    The Difese, the Tenuta's entry-level wine, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, is fresh and velvety on the palate with discreet tannins. Average length but really tasty.

    The 2021 vintage is rated 91/100 by A. Galloni (Vinous).

    Guidalberto, a step above Difese, is a Cabernet-Sauvignon/Merlot blend with a Medoc-like profile, elegant and distinguished while remaining greedy.

    The 2021 vintage is rated 93/100 by A. Galloni (Vinous).

    Sassicaia, the Tuscan star, a Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc blend, is a unique wine. No extravagance but a perfect balance between aromatic complexity (blackberry, blueberry, balsamic notes), superlative finesse and controlled power. All in delicacy, a wine of great class!

    The 2020 vintage is rated 97/100 by A. Galloni (Vinous) "Sassicaia is never an imposing wine, but the 2020 seems to have an extra dimension with its intense texture. This intensity is extremely appealing" (August 2023)
