Long before “Super Tuscans” became legendary, Tenuta San Guido changed the course of Italian wine history with the creation of Sassicaia✨ In the 1940s, inspired by the great wines of Bordeaux, Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta planted Cabernet Sauvignon in Bolgheri’s gravelly coastal soils. And (𝘭𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘶𝘴😉), what began as a private family experiment evolved into one of the world’s most iconic wines, and the estate that put Bolgheri on the global wine map🍷🗺️

So last week, when I had the opportunity to hear from granddaughter of the estate, Priscilla Incisa della Rocchetta, it was a bit of a pinch-me moment✨

We tasted through the newest vintages (𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳) of:
🍷Le Difese
🍷Guidalberto
🍷Sassicaia

I think we can all agree that Tenuta San Guido is a true benchmark of elegance, vision, and Italian winemaking heritage🇮🇹 And while the estate is famous for the iconic Sassicaia wine, I was also a big fan of Le Difese which is at a much more accessible price point😉

🍴And these wines were ever-so-thoughtfully paired with some beautiful dishes at the University Club of Toronto.

It’s definitely a meal and experience I’ll remember for a long time✨
