“The same DNA that brings us one of Italy’s greatest wines, Sassicaia.”

In 1968, Tenuta San Guido made the first Super Tuscan known famously as Sassicaia.  Among the top five Tuscan titans, Sassicaia is a Bordeaux blend from the prized Bolgheri sub-region.  At $290 per bottle, however, it may not be an everyday red.  Savy connoisseurs like to enjoy the estate’s Guidalberto Super Tuscan – which is turning heads – while the flagship wine, Sassicaia, ages in their cellar. 

At $70, Guidalberto is nothing short of spectacular. It is owned by Tenuta San Guido (of Sassicaia) and has a similar pedigree from vineyard to bottle.  The grapes are intentionally picked a bit early to preserve freshness, allowing for youthful approachability. Often called “Baby Sassicaia,”
