Mischief and Mayhem Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Bas Liards 2020 vs Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto 2022

Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto 2022

Tenuta San Guido is named after the saint, Guido della Gherardesca, who lived during the 11th century. It is located on the Tyrrhenian coast, in the Maremma area made famous by Italian Nobel prize winner Giosuè Carducci and it stretches for 13 km from the sea to the hills. The Sassicaia wine, the Razza Dormello-Olgiata thoroughbred stud farm and the Bird Sanctuary Padule di Bolgheri are the three defining aspects of the property. They divide the estate between the Padule on the coast, the horse training grounds on the plain, and the vineyards planted up to 350 meters on the hills. The latter have been given their own DOC, the DOC Bolgheri Sassicaia, the first, and so far, only case in Italy of a DOC contained in one estate.
