Tenuta San Guido is the estate that made Bolgheri matter. Home of Sassicaia, the first Super Tuscan and the bottle that rewrote what Italy could be taken seriously for. The 2021 is deep ruby and concentrated, with elegant red fruit aromas and a mouth that's rich and dense without ever losing its balance; the tannins are sweet and beautifully knit, the finish long. This is Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon speaking Italian, and the accent is the whole point.
Tasting Notes
Intense, concentrated and deep ruby-colored, this wine offers elegant, complex aromas of red fruit. In the mouth it is rich and dense, yet harmonious, with sweet, balanced tannins. The wine has a long finish with a depth and structure that ensure its extraordinary longevity.
About the Producer
Hailed as the standard-bearer of Italian enology, the historic Tenuta San Guido estate is known for crafting Sassicaia, the world’s first Super Tuscan and an important contribution to Italy’s evolving reputation as a fine-wine producing nation in the mid-20th century. From the ambition of Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta to plant Bordeaux varieties in Tuscany in the 1940s to the arrival of acclaimed consulting oenologist Giacomo Tachis to the introduction of two additional wines to the brand, Tenuta San Guido has vaulted from success to success.
