Tenuta San Guido

For a long time Castiglioncello di Bolgheri was used as a Sassicaia winery. This was an excellent solution as long as the few vineyards were close to the castle. The development of new vineyards was followed by an expansion of the cellar. The latter could no longer be at the highest point at sea level since the vineyards were now scattered over the entire estate. A central location was found in the 1960s. This is where it is still located: on the avenue of cypresses, near the Oratory of San Guido which gives the estate its name. The new Sassicaia aging cellar was designed by the architect Agnese Mazzei, and is located next to the winemaking cellar at the end of the avenue of cypresses in Bolgheri.

The vineyards of Tenuta San Guido extend over a total area of ​​about 90 hectares and are divided into areas chosen for the particular characteristics of both exposure and composition of the land. Part of the vineyards are located on the hills, at an altitude ranging from 200 to 300 meters above sea level. The San Martino and Mandrioli vineyards are close to the hills in the central area of ​​the estate, while the other vineyards are located lower at an altitude of about 80 meters above the sea. The climate is crucial for a correct and healthy ripening of the grapes. It is influenced by the sea and the hills behind it that protect it from the winds. The vineyards in such different areas are an important factor for the complexity of the wines, and provide an unsurpassed choice depending on the climatic trend for the harvest. In confirmation of this, a recent study by the University of Pisa has highlighted the absolute uniqueness of the vineyards of Tenuta San Guido by type of land, compared to the entire surrounding area. The vineyards, bred with a spurred cordon, produce about 55-60 quintals of grapes per hectare. The breeding system and the very low yield of grapes per vine give a product that is always healthy and rich in sugar, tannins and extract.
