Description
A wine made mainly from Cabernet Sauvignon was a fundamental change to the Tuscan and Piedmont tradition of Sangiovese and Nebbiolo, respectively.
The innovative decision to plant this variety at Tenuta San Guido was partly due to the similarity Mario Incisa had noted between Tuscan terrain and that of Graves in Bordeaux.

Tasting
Eye : Powerful, sparkling ruby.
Nose : Intense and clear with lots of incisive fruit, redcurrant and blackberry, then fine notes of cedar needles and spicy cedar wood, slight resinous notes in the background.
Mouth : The attack is cold and polished. It opens up with grippy, dense tannins in many layers. It builds for a long time and is very powerful at the back with intense pressure and a very long persistence. The finish has a discreet note of tobacco and mint.
Food and wine pairing : Main dishes with red meat, game
Ideal for drinking : 2022-2055
Serving temperature : 16/18 °C
