TASTING NOTES

Bolgheri Sassicaia it is one of the best known Italian red wines in the world. Produced in the San Guido Estate in Bolgheri, Tuscany, it was created by Mario Inciso della Rocchetta. Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, returning from the Great War, has the opportunity to study at the University of Agriculture of Pisa and, passionate about viticulture, is interested in the wine world following in the footsteps of his paternal grandfather, also passionate and studious. Another great passion of the Marquis is the equestrian world: often riding inside the San Rossore estate in Pisa, he gets to know the Gherardesca family. So in 1930 he marries Clarice della Gherardesca, who brings Tenuta San Guido as a dowry. Precisely in the gentle slopes overlooking the sea, covered by Mediterranean scrub, you will recognise a soil similar to that of Bordeaux, from which some of the greatest French red wines come. Thus begins his dream, that is to produce a purebred wine, almost of equal value to his horse Ribot, a great champion of galloping races. Along these gentle slopes he decides to plant Cabernet cuttings, then coming across a stony ground, a sassicaia, from which the wine took its name. Until 1972 the wine produced was intended for the exclusive consumption of the family; then the turning point came, when the Marquis decided to collaborate with the oenologist Giacomo Tachis, also by virtue of the commercial agreements made for the marketing of Sassicaia. The first Sassicaia label was therefore produced in 1972: a blend of different vintages ranging from 1965 to 1969, then united on the label under the date 1968, and with the symbol drawn that will become the icon of the cellar, i.e. the wind rose now on blue background. The 1972 vintage eventually won international recognition, beating off competition from the best Cabernet wines in the world. Since then, Sassicaia has been one of the most important Italian wines on the international market, so much so that in 1994 a DOC was dedicated to it, reserved exclusively for Sassicaia wine from Tenuta San Guido. Bolgheri Sassicaia Doc is produced with a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Refined for 24 months in French oak barriques, and then settled in the bottle. In the glass it has an intense ruby red colour, with garnet hues if from a previous harvest. The nose immediately reveals fruity notes of ripe cherries, black currants and blackberries, flanked by hints of the Mediterranean scrub, such as rosemary, and a potpourri of dried flowers, tobacco and cocoa. In the mouth it is balanced and harmonious, elegant with its well integrated tannins and freshness that make it full. It amazes with its persistence. Sassicaia is a wine that does not fear time, on the contrary, it benefits from it. Ideal for special occasions, it goes well with refined second courses of red meat or game. Read more Read less
THE WINERY

Tenuta San Guido

Tenuta San Guido has a very ancient history. Suffice it to say that it owes its name to St. Guido della Gherardesca name that has been linked to the territory in which it stands for centuries. It is located in Tuscany, in the Maremma area between Livorno and Grosseto and a short distance from the Etruscan Coast. That same area that has always enchanted poets and artists of all kinds, and that Giosuè Carducci made famous among lovers of literature; but it is also the area where Tuscany's winemaking tradition has been carried on for centuries with passion and dedication. Since its founding, the winery has set itself the delicate goal of telling the story of the land to which it belongs by producing Tuscan wines of the highest quality, with the best grapes and the oldest knowledge. The desire to create a wine with excellent raw materials, the desire to represent Tuscany in the world and the passion for the territory can be found in every glass of the final product. The hectares available to the estate are raised different strains, including Sassiccaia and Bolgheri. Name and address of producer/distributor: Tenuta San Guido - Loc. Le Capanne, 27, 57022 Bolgheri (LI). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
