Tuscany, Etruscan Coast, between Livorno and Grosseto the Tenuta San Guido extends for 13 kilometers.
The name of the company refers to San Guido della Gherardesca, who lived in the 13th century.
If Mario Incisa, creator of Sassicaia, drew inspiration from his great-uncle Leopoldo Incisa della Rocchetta, his son Nicolò, administrator of Tenuta San Guido for forty years, was inspired by Guidalberto della Gherardesca for the creation of the wine that bears the name of his great-great-grandfather, Alberto precisely.

The latter, who lived in the early nineteenth century in the Bolgheri area, was a pioneer of modern agriculture, also famous for having planted the famous Viale dei Cipressi.
“The birth of this second wine – explains Nicolò Incisa – comes from the desire to try our hand with a grape we have never used, Merlot, with the desire to offer the consumer a product that can be appreciated younger and, finally, with the ‘opportunity to be able to further select the grapes to be allocated to Sassicaia ”.

The history of Zorzettig, over a hundred years old, has the scent of the Friulian hills, of Spessa di Cividale, to be precise, a land with a unique terroir and microclimate. The company covers 115 hectares with an average annual production of 800,000 bottles.
The sacredness of the vineyard is the heart of the company philosophy – says Annalisa Zorzettig: “Today, we have maintained this sacredness, almost“ a cult”, because it is biodiversity and quality. Not only.
“Hospitality, or opening the cellar doors to offer a glass and share our work, becomes one of the keys to spreading our production, telling its story”.

Known worldwide for their quality, Zorzettig wines are present in the guide and among them, we suggest not to miss the tasting of Friuli Colli Orientali Schioppettino MYÒ 2018 which, in the complete review Piero Pardini defines: “The taste is well balanced in its components , soft, with a non-invasive and well-polished tannic texture. A wine destined to evolve further, but already now with a very intense olfactory persistence, ripe fruit and precious spices “.

The Marisa Cuomo cellars are the essence of the Amalfi Coast. A historic company, born from the meeting of Andrea Ferraioli with Marisa Cuomo. Heroic viticulture, in the heart of Furore, 10 hectares of land and the magic of a suggestive fjord on the sea. That sea which, together with the sun of Southern Italy, offers rare wines.

Furore Rosso Riserva 2018, among the wines reviewed, is our advice: “The sip is balanced in its components, the tannic texture, perfectly balanced, gives a soft and well balanced taste with an elegant woody finish”.
