About Tenuta San Guido

The global fame of Super-Tuscan Sassicaia’s fame has obscured its decades-long emergence into the world. After making his home at Tenuta San Guido,... located in Bolgheri, Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta noticed that the soils at his estate were rocky, reminiscent of the soils in Graves, Bordeaux. In 1944, he was struck with the inspiration to plant Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc, and for more than two decades, Mario made his Bordeaux-style wine solely for family consumption. Then Mario engaged esteemed enologist Giacomo Tachis to perfect the wine, and Sassicaia was born with its 1968 vintage. Sassicaia and its Super-Tuscan revolution changed the face of Italian wine — and it catapulted Tenuta San Guido into the highest echelon of wine producers. Year in and year out, Sassicaia holds its place as one of the most beloved, collectable wines in the world, and Tenuta San Guido’s sterling reputation only grows more lustrous.

Marchese Antinori Tenuta Tignanello

The Antinori family’s Tenuta Tignanello is a gently hilly property located between that the family has owned since the 1800s. This... 321-acre Tuscan estate gets its name — Tignanello — from its most famous vineyard, but its vines grow the grapes for multiple wines. When Piero Antinori was searching to add his own voice to the Super-Tuscan revolution in the late 1960s, he turned to Giacomo Tachis, the consulting winemaker behind Sangiovese, as well as Ornellaia. Piero wanted to make wines that reflected his family’s Tuscan heritage, and in 1971, Tignanello, a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet, and Cabernet Franc, was born. Sporting marly, limestone-rich soils that show remnants of the Pliocene Period when the region was covered in an ocean, Tenuta Tignanello enjoys sunny days, cool nights, and a gentle breeze, ideal conditions for wines that sing with a true Tuscan voice.

About Krug

Founded in 1843 Johann-Josef Krug, Krug is not particularly old by Champagne standards, yet it is indisputably one of the region’s best, most distinguished... houses. As it has for more than a century, Krug ferments its wines in small oak barrels that have been blasted with water and then seasoned by storing wines to keep the oak to a minimum; afterwards, they age their wines in stainless steel. Although now owned by LVMH Moët-Hennessey, the Krug family remains involved in the direction of the house, which maintains its painstaking, time-honored approach to crafting fine Champagnes. Chef de Cave Eric Lebel stepped down in 2020, when Julie Cavil, who had served as his assistant for more than a decade, took the reins for the estate. When it comes to Champagne, it's hard to imagine surpassing the quality, detail, painstaking process, and commitment to tradition that Krug maintains; each of the estate’s wines offers a unique, classic, and textured Champagne experience.
