Tenuta San Guido Description

Tenuta San Guido was established by Mario Incisa della Rochetta. Considered the seminal "Super Tuscan", the name Sassicaia (Italian sasso meaning stone) indicating a stony field, originated in 1948 when first produced by Incisa della Rochetta using Cabernet Sauvignon vines reputedly sourced from Château Lafite-Rothschild, and for years only used for family consumption. From 1968, internationally renowned consultants were engaged to improve the production, such as Giacomo Tachis and Émile Peynaud. Small commercial quantities were not released until in the mid 1970s.
