The soil is very complex, rich in clay and skeletons with a high fluvial ancient accumulation. The mitigating influence of the Mediterranean Sea prevents drastic temperature variations, also thanks to the microclimate of the Bolgheri amphitheatre of hills. The wine-growing areas have been handled in small plots bordering scrublands, forests of old trees, olives and crops, in the total respect of the original landscape setting.“Sassicaia comes from my father’s passion for wine, it is made in the vineyards and reflects the terroir since the first vintage, 1968. Today his philosophy and principles are still vital and essential.” Nicolò Incisa della Rocchetta, Owner of Tenuta San Guido
