The winery

Tenuta San Guido

ToscanaItalia

A winery in the Tuscan Maremma (Bolgheri) known for the celebrated Sassicaia, a Bordeaux-style Super‑Tuscan.
Grape varieties
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Sangiovese
  • Producer of Sassicaia, the emblematic label of the "Super Tuscan" movement.
  • Estate covering approximately 2,500 hectares in Maremma di Bolgheri.
  • Two second wines are already on the market: Guidalberto and Le Difese.
  • Diversified agricultural production: vineyards, olive groves, and initiatives related to wildlife and land conservation.
  • Collaboration for the "Grappa di Sassicaia" distilled by Poli, using pomace from Tenuta San Guido.
The story
The estate is tied to the Incisa della Rocchetta family: Mario Incisa began experimenting with French varieties in Bolgheri and the private production of Sassicaia became commercial with the 1968 harvest. Over time Nicolò Incisa and his collaboration with winemaker Giacomo Tachis helped consolidate its reputation; subsequently the estate expanded its range with Guidalberto and Le Difese. Sassicaia obtained a reserved denomination, which reinforced the label’s distinctiveness.
Production philosophy
The estate's philosophy emphasizes respect for the ecosystem, the balance between people and nature, and an agricultural approach attentive to quality; the estate states agronomic practices aimed at soil care and sustainable management of its crops.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate extends into the Tuscan Maremma, in the Bolgheri area, on predominantly gravelly and stony soils reminiscent of the Graves formations in Bordeaux. The microclimate benefits from the maritime influence and the shelter of the hills behind it, factors that contribute to its suitability for Bordeaux grape varieties.
Awards and recognition
International recognition for Sassicaia includes top scores from international critics and prominent placements in landmark tastings, such as the Decanter tasting in which Sassicaia was acknowledged. In addition, the 2015 vintage was named Wine of the Year by Wine Spectator.
