Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia DOC Sassicaia Tuscany

A wine made mainly from Cabernet Sauvignon (85%) with contributions from Cabernet Franc (15%), it was a fundamental change in the tradition of Tuscany and Piemonte, of Sangiovese and Nebbiolo, respectively. The innovative decision to plant this variety in Tenuta San Guido was due in part to the similarity that Mario Incisa had noticed between the Tuscan terrain and that of Graves in Bordeaux. "Tombs" or "gravel" in French refers to the rocky terrain that distinguishes the Bordeaux area; Similarly, Tuscany vineyard sites in Italy confer the same characteristics. Sassicaia means: "stony ground", like its precious French brother.
