A Pioneer in Red Wines Since the 1940s

Tenuta San Guido is a prestigious winery located along the Tyrrhenian coast in the Maremma region of Tuscany, between Leghorn and Grosseto. Founded by Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, it was among the first to produce Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1940s. The winery is best known for its flagship wine, Sassicaia, a Bordeaux-style red that has garnered international acclaim, alongside Guidalberto and Le Difese. Tenuta San Guido proudly holds a unique single-estate DOC (Bolgheri Sassicaia) designation for its flagship label, highlighting its significance in the world of 'Super Tuscan' wines.

From Experimentation to Iconic Super Tuscan Wines

The first bottle of Sassicaia was crafted in 1948 as an experimental wine for the Marchese's family. Initially produced in small quantities, it faced challenges due to its heavier profile compared to local wines. However, Mario's son Nicolo and nephew Piero encouraged him to release the 1968 vintage commercially, which marked a turning point for Tenuta San Guido. The wine quickly gained popularity for its rich texture, elegance, and aromatic complexity, establishing the winery as a leader in the Super Tuscan movement.

More Than Just a Winery

Spanning 2,500 hectares, Tenuta San Guido is not only a winery but also a vibrant estate featuring around 100 hectares of vineyards planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Sangiovese. The estate is a haven for biodiversity, hosting the Padule di Bolgheri Wildlife Refuge, a bird sanctuary, and the Razza Dormello-Olgiata thoroughbred horse breeding ground. The vineyards benefit from ideal climatic conditions and nutrient-rich soils, contributing to the production of some of Italy's most celebrated wines.

Wonderful place at the end of the Bolgheri road, so very easy to reach. Very large and welcoming place. A good wine to accompany an equally good lunch with a special and elegant presentation. Excellent service, very fast, friendly and polite staff. Perfect value for money!

The small church of San Guido gave the title to the famous poem by Giosuè Carducci, DAVANTI SAN GUIDO, in which the poet imagines returning to the town where he spent his childhood with the family that had followed his father, a doctor who had been brought to Bolgheri. Famous and beautiful, the long avenue that leads from San Guido to Bolgheri "in two rows" is still there today, but with cypresses that are now more than centuries old. The wines of the area are definitely worth a taste! First of all, the famous Sassicaia.

When in the distant 1990 at a blind tasting of 12 Bordeaux wines........., Sorry 11 plus the intruder Sassicaia. They were all bottles from the 1985 vintage, and the Tuscan wine defeated the competition of the great French Chateau. From that moment on, the world wine critics have known a myth. Less fortunate vintages have followed, but always excellent. A flagship wine of our winemaking. Thanks to the Marquis Incisa della Rocchetta, but a great memory goes to the late Giacomo Tachis, winemaker of the Maison.
