Tenuta San Guido, located in Bolgheri, is one of Tuscany's most famous estates, producing the legendary Sassicaia. This wine is mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, with a small proportion of Cabernet Franc, grown on well-drained, stony soils. The 2020 vintage reveals aromas of black fruit, blackcurrant, cedar and violet. On the palate, it is elegant and structured, with fine tannins and good length, characteristic of the Bordeaux blend in this unique Tuscan terroir. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate: 96/100; Wine Spectator: 97/100

Viticulture

The history of Sassicaia began in 1944 with the first plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon by the Marquis Incisa della Rocchetta in the Bolgheri region of the Tuscan Maremma. In the Tuscan dialect, sassicaia is a term used to describe very stony terrain. The vineyards are located in the hills, between 100 and 300 metres above sea level, on very poor soil.
