    Product description

    Located at an altitude of 100 to 300masl, with south/south-west exposure, this SuperTuscan offers a satisfying drinkability. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at 19-20°C, with controlled alcoholic fermentation around 28-29°C. Aged in 225-liter barriques, consisting of partially French oak and a small percentage (5%) of American oak. The wood composition includes 40% new oak, 40% second-pass oak, and 20% third and fourth-pass oak. Bright red fruit aromas of cherry and raspberry, alongside hints of spice and herbs. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, smooth tannins, and a touch of oak. The finish is elegant and fresh. Guidalberto is the second wine of Sassicaia.

  • About the producer

    About the producer: Tenuta San Guido

    Sassicaia, produced at Tenuta San Guido, was the first Super Tuscan wine ever made. In the 1920’s, the young Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta dreamt of producing a ‘thoroughbred’ of the wine world. When Mario arrived in the area in the 1940s, he recognised similarities in climate and soil between Bordeaux and the coastal vineyards of Bolgheri, firmly believing that Cabernet Sauvignon could reach the same exalted heights there as Bordeaux Grand Cru Classes. He started to experiment with French grape varieties, and results from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were so good he decided to focus on this variety alongside Merlot, something completely new in Tuscany at the time. For 19 years this revolutionary wine was kept hidden at the Tenuta San Guido estate for the consumption of friends and family. Marchese finally released the first Sassicaia, meaning “place of many stones”, commercially in 1968 as an IGT. In the 1990’s this reputation was consolidated when Sassicaia was awarded its own DOC of Bolgheri Sassicaia. It is still the only Italian wine from a single estate to have a DOC of its own.
