Italy Tenuta San Guido

Our committee's review

A leading figure in the world of "Super Tuscans," Tenuta San Guido is best known for one of its iconic wines, Sassicaia, which has forever left its mark on the history of Italian wine. Alongside Ornellaia, Solaia, and Ca'Marcanda, it reigns at the top of the global wine hierarchy.

A passionate lover of Bordeaux, owner Nicolo Incisa della Rocchetta achieved the unthinkable in the early 1970s: he proved to the world that he could rival the greatest Médocs. The first commercial vintage, 1968, launched a series of magnificent wines, led by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, breaking with the traditions of the time—and so, the legend was born!

Take advantage today of the rare opportunity to acquire the stunning 2021 vintage, awarded a perfect 100/100 by Parker. A true collector's item from one of Italy's most legendary estates. Also, explore its other exceptional wines: Guidalberto, the second label, and Le Difese, its introductory wine.

Three magical cuvées, representing the pinnacle of the global wine scene. Absolute excellence!

The introductory wine from Tenuta San Guido, the Red 2022 Le Difese IGT Toscana, offers a glimpse into the estate's exceptional craftsmanship. A blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, it opens with a refined and fresh nose, featuring delicate aromas of graphite and dried rose, accented by a subtle balsamic note. The expertly managed aging process allows for a vibrant freshness to shine through, which is also reflected on the palate, where the wine displays great elegance and very fine tannins. With an impressive aging potential of 5 to 8 years, it was awarded a 93/100 by the Selection Committee.

The Red 2022 Guidalberto IGT Toscana, the second wine of Sassicaia, is crafted from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. As precise and inspiring as its famous predecessor, it unmistakably carries the DNA of Sassicaia, vying for the title of Italy’s best wine alongside the great icons. However, it offers a more immediate and approachable style, built on concentrated fruit from a warm vintage, with notes of ripe blackberries and a generous, smooth texture. Freshness and elegance are also key, delivering superb balance and a subtly spiced finish that adds a touch of flair. A fantastic introduction to the Sassicaia style! Rated 94/100 by Parker.

A new achievement! Awarded a perfect 100/100 by Parker, the 2021 Red Bolgheri Sassicaia secures another accolade. The American guide describes it as the quintessence of Sassicaia and the essence of Cabernet, dazzled by the wine's distinction and balance. With no signs of over-ripeness, it delivers exemplary freshness and dynamism, supported by firm yet velvety tannins that perfectly frame the wine's structure with strength and precision. This wine, with its impressive volume and remarkable persistence, offers a unique formal perfection. Notes of herbs, spices, dark fruit, cigar, and rose are woven into its texture, creating the ultimate expression of Cabernet. Already incredibly tempting to drink now, it will undoubtedly reward those who wait!
