History & Vision

Tenuta San Guido define the Super Tuscan movement and symbolize Italian excellence. Located on the Bolgheri coast in Maremma, the estate was founded by Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta in the mid-20th century. Inspired by Bordeaux, he planted Cabernet Sauvignon in a region traditionally known for Sangiovese. This bold vision gave birth to Sassicaia, a wine that revolutionized Italian winemaking and gained worldwide fame. Today, his family continues to guide the estate with the same pioneering spirit and commitment to quality.

Flagship Wines

The flagship of the estate is undoubtedly Sassicaia, a Cabernet Sauvignon–based wine that ranks among the world’s greatest. With elegance, structure, and remarkable aging potential, Sassicaia has earned a place in every serious wine cellar. In addition, Tenuta San Guido produces Guidalberto, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which offers accessibility and charm, and Le Difese, an approachable Sangiovese–Cabernet blend. As a result, the portfolio covers both collectible icons and everyday expressions of the Bolgheri terroir.

Winemaking Style

Tenuta San Guido values tradition and precision. Therefore, the family farms sustainably, limits yields, and carefully selects fruit from hillside vineyards. In the cellar, modern techniques are balanced with classic methods, ensuring consistency across vintages. As a result, the wines display clarity, elegance, and harmony. Moreover, Sassicaia is aged in French oak, adding structure and refinement without overshadowing the fruit.

Global Reputation

Collectors, sommeliers, and critics admire Tenuta San Guido wines for their prestige and authenticity. Because Sassicaia has achieved legendary status, demand far exceeds supply. Furthermore, Guidalberto and Le Difese extend the estate’s reputation to a wider audience, making the brand both iconic and approachable.
