In the heart of Bolgheri, where the Tuscan sun kisses rolling vineyards, lies the legendary Tenuta San Guido—a winery that rewrote the rules of Italian winemaking. Best known for Sassicaia, the first “Super Tuscan,” Tenuta San Guido isn’t just a winery; it’s a legacy. And among its exceptional creations, Guidalberto stands out as the elegant yet approachable sibling, offering a taste of Bolgheri’s greatness with a more youthful charm.
A Winery That Changed Italian Wine Forever
Tenuta San Guido was founded by Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, a man with a vision to craft a Bordeaux-style wine in Tuscany. Inspired by the gravelly soils of Bolgheri, reminiscent of the Médoc in France, he planted Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, defying Italy’s strict DOC rules at the time. The result? Sassicaia, a wine that put Bolgheri on the map. But Guidalberto, introduced later, tells a different story—one of balance, charm, and early drinkability, without compromising on complexity.
