Tenuta San Guido Bundle 750 ml

Any wine lover who hears the name Tenuta San Guido and only thinks of Sassicaia is missing out. Big time.

Tenuta San Guido produces TWO of the most remarkable wines in Tuscany, and this is a must-have set for your cellar: the estate’s triple 97-point 2020 Sassicaia and 95-point 2021 Guidalberto. 

Sassicaia, the Bolgheri icon that launched the craze for Bordeaux-style Italian reds, is now as collectible as the First Growths of the Médoc. Its sibling Guidalberto—crafted from younger vines on the same estate—is one of the finest, most regal values you’ll find in the wine world.

“A bold, rapturous wine,” is how Italian-wine maven Antonio Galloni of Vinous described the 2020 Sassicaia in his 97-point review. Pound for pound, the 2021 Guidalberto is just as impressive. Decanter called it a wine of “velvety richness” in their 95-point assessment, while Wine Advocate said it “shows a heightened sense of intensity and territorial identity that is the hallmark of this storied estate.” Not bad for little brother. 

Tenuta San Guido began with one man’s obsession. Beginning in the 1920s, Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta became preoccupied with the idea of re-creating the best of Bordeaux on stony Italian soil.

The results of his early plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc near  the Tyrrhenian coast were strictly consumed by his family. But as the wines aged, they became stunning, with the power and elegance to match the famous estates of Graves or Pomerol. By the early 1970s, Sassicaia was setting a new benchmark for excellence in Italian wine.
