🏡 About the Producers

Tenuta San Guido is the historic Bolgheri estate behind Sassicaia, a pioneering wine that helped shape the Super Tuscan movement. Owned by the Incisa della Rocchetta family, the estate first released Sassicaia commercially with the 1968 vintage. Today, Sassicaia has its own exclusive appellation, Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC, while the estate also produces Guidalberto and Le Difese.

Poggio al Tesoro was founded in 2001 by the Allegrini family in partnership with Leonardo Lo Cascio. Situated in coastal Bolgheri, its vineyards benefit from sea breezes and diverse soils. The estate’s range includes Solosole Vermentino, Dedicato a Walter Cabernet Franc and Teos Petit Manseng Passito, showcasing the breadth of its Tuscan terroir.
