About the Wine
If Mario Incisa, creator of iconic Sassicaia, was inspired by his great-uncle Leopoldo Incisa della Rocchetta, then his son Nicolò, director of Tenuta San Guido for forty years, has been motivated by Guidalberto della Gherardesca his great great great grandfather. Blend: 60 % Cabernet Sauvignon 40 % Merlot. The wine was mostly aged in French oak barrels and partially in American oak barrels for 15 months.
Tasting Notes
"Elegant, dark ruby red. Opens on the nose with subtle bacon notes, then ripe raspberry and cherry backed up by earthy hints and forest berries. A lot of grip and juicy tannin on the palate with salty undertones." - 93/100, Falstaff
Pairing Recommendation
Pair with meat sauce pasta and roasted meats.
