Sassicaia Tenuta San Guido

Name: Tenuta San Guido GUIDALBERTO IGT Bolgheri Tyrrhenian Coast Where it's from:  Italy, Tuscany Price per case: £155.75  Bottles per case: 6 x 75 cl Style: Powerful Reds Description: The Incisa della Rocchetta family, who own Tenuta San Guido, as well as the world famous Sassicaia wine, was a key player in the medieval and renaissance history of northern Italy. Incidently a seal from this period inspired the current label that Mario Incisa della Rocchetta designed for his wine. While the Incisa della Rocchetta family prospered through the centuries and one member of the family who stands out is Guidalberto della Gherardesca who this wine is named after. Guidalberto della Gherardesca lived at the beginning of the 1800s and was an Incisa ancestor. A pioneer of modern agriculture in the Bolgheri area he was known for his many land reclamation projects. However, Guidalberto was also known for his experiments in the winegrowing sector, which were already state of the art for his time, as well as for having planted the famous 'Cypress Road' which is now a national historic landmark. The grapes are grown in a vineyard on lands adjacent to the Sassicaia vineyard. The grape varieties are approximately 45% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvingnon and 10% Sangiovese. After a careful harvest the grapes are then vinified in a new cellar created especially by the Tenuta San Guido in the locality known as 'Vecchio Frantoio' not far from the town of Bolgheri. Next the grapes were fermented in steel vats at controlled temperatures with a maceration period of 15 days for the the Merlot and the Cabernet Sauvignon. However, the Sangiovese grapes spent a little less time, 12 days, fermenting. The wine was then aged in French and American oak barriques for 14 months, one-third of the barriques being new ones. The wine is characterised by its excellent fulllness, gentleness and softness, having an organoleptic depth without sharpness. An excellent, very well-balanced structure and great persistence are already detectable on the palate while the finish is long for this well made wine.
