He dreamed of creating a \"noble\" wine and like most of the Italian aristocracy at the time, his taste in wine ran strongly to fine Bordeaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c2 c2\"\u003eAfter settling with his wife, Clarice, into their Tuscan estate at Tenuta San Guido on the Mediterranean Coast, the first vineyard was planted in the early 1940s with some French grafts of Cabernet Sauvignon purchased from Chateau Lafite. The Marquis’ use of Cabernet grapes and his implementation of the barriques aging process soon spread throughout Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c1\"\u003eSassicaia was the first Italian wine to successfully establish itself abroad, and is almost universally recognized as the father of the new Italian wine family or simply the Super Tuscan Pioneer. Mario Incisa della Rocchetta’s planting is now considered the birthplace of Italian Cabernet. Today the estate is in the hands of The Marchese Nicolo Incisa Della Rocchetta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c1\"\u003eAlongside the iconic Sassicaia is 'Guidalberto' the second wine of the estate and then the most recent addition to the stable is the delicious 'Le Difese'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c1\"\u003eUnlike some producers courting awards and plaudits the ethos here is to make superlative wine that displays the character of the vintage from the best terroir and the best grapes. There is no striving for homogeneity and no concession to popularity. The wines all display an inherent elegance and understated power that is completely compelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"c1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eTENUTA SAN GUIDO\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.tenutasanguido.com\/eng\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The official website of Tenuta San Guido\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/desktop_icon_cd1f9a91-a06b-4665-880d-cc47c0dde6d7_480x480.jpg?v=1588261941\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Sassicaiawinery\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sassicaia Winery Facebook Page\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/infosassicaia?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sassicaia on Twitter\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/twitter_icon_34f9bd96-ace0-4f23-b0ee-0e0d2f8cc379_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tenuta_san_guido\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sassicaia on Instagram\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"tenuta-san-guido-le-difese-igt-toscana","title":"Tenuta San Guido Le Difese 2023","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLe Difese by Tenuta San Guido is a red wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese grapes.

Sourced from the unique, stony soils of the Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC, this iconic Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend is celebrated globally for its impeccable balance, profound structure, and extraordinary cellaring potential. This 2022 vintage displays the classic hallmarks of intense cassis, cedar box, and powerful Tuscan elegance. 1969 witnessed the debut of Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia, a wine that at the time, broke away from the standard way of making Tuscan Wine and garnered international acclaim. The name \"Sassicaia\" meaning \"place of many stones,\" reflects the stony soil which it comes from, reminiscent of the Médoc region in France. Since its inception Sassicaia has become recognised as one of the world's finest Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Notably, Tenuta San Guido made history by being the first single wine to be granted its own Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) status. The wines of Tenuta San Guido are celebrated for their intense notes of cassis, coupled with a cedary elegance, and are renowned for their extraordinary power and length. This combination of factors has solidified Tenuta San Guido's position as a pinnacle of quality and prestige in the world of fine wine. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc the wine was placed in French oak barriques and a small part in American oak, where it was aged for a period between 20 and 25 months.
