A bottle of Sassicaia Tenuta San Guido, vintage 1986. Category: red wine. D.O.C. Bolgheri Sassicaia, Italy. Level: B. 750 ml. Between 1948 and 1967 the wine resulting from this vineyard was consumed privately. It was Mario's son, Nicolò, who began to market the wine with a totally unexpected success. This red put the Tuscan region of Bolgueri on the world map of the best wines, and without having an appellation of origin to protect it. It was so successful with Sassicaia that it was granted an appellation of origin to give prestige to the area. Today, Tenuta San Guido is one of the greatest emblems of Italian winemaking.
