Located in Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast, the estate was developed by Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, who began experimenting with Cabernet Sauvignon in the mid‑20th century, inspired by the great wines of Bordeaux. The first commercial vintage of Sassicaia was released in 1968 and quickly garnered international acclaim, ultimately earning its own DOC, Bolgheri Sassicaia, in recognition of its unique status. Today, Tenuta San Guido remains a reference point for elegance, balance and longevity in Tuscan reds, consistently producing wines that rank among the world’s most collectible and critically acclaimed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"San Guido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252766134609,"sku":"PS-15465926558076","price":822.86,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/sass_01045727-fd8c-4783-bbfb-e51580f7493b.png?v=1783446622"},{"product_id":"san-guido-le-difese-2023","title":"San Guido Le Difese 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eLe Difese 2023 from Tenuta San Guido offers a beautifully approachable expression of Tuscan red wine, blending Cabernet Sauvignon with Sangiovese from Montosoli and Rufina in Chianti Classico.

The soils are a mix of gravel, clay and sandy loam, echoing the classic Bordeaux inspiration yet with a distinctly Mediterranean character. Grapes are harvested parcel by parcel at optimal ripeness, often by hand, to preserve berry integrity and sort quality in the vineyard and cellar. After gentle crushing and fermentation in temperature‑controlled stainless steel tanks, the wine undergoes maceration to extract colour, aroma and fine tannins. It is then aged in a selection of mostly French, with some American, oak barriques for around a year before blending, fining and bottling, yielding a wine that marries purity of fruit with subtle, well‑integrated oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuidalberto 2023 is a versatile food wine that shines alongside classic Tuscan and Mediterranean dishes.
