Elegant aroma with notes of red fruits |

Wine
Description:
|
Very intense violet color |
|
A very long and persistent nose |

An excellent, well-balanced structure that is well rounded, gentle softness, having a density without sharpness. Its excellent organoleptic depth, which is soft and round, and good polyphenolic structure, results in a wine that is best enjoyed upon release. |

Wine
Description:
Grappa is exclusively the Italian aqua-vitae obtained through
distillation of the marc. Grappa, together with wine and oil,
has taken its rightful place among three of the most typical
elements of a Mediterranean diet.
The coming togther of the two great families, Incisa Della
Rocchetta and Jacopo Poli, develop a project with a strong
cultural background and real understanding of what is meant
by value and quality. The objective is to marry the histories,
the passions and the expertise of the two families to create
a new product and only one of its kind, which encapsulates
centuries of culture and traditions.
Grappa di Sassicaia expresses the elegant, finely-structured
fruit and herbal aromas of the Cabernet varieties with the
intensity of the spirit mellowed by the toast and vanilla
naunces of the oak. |

OLIO EXTRAVERGINE DI OLIVA |
Italian Olive Oil
|
|
|
Description:
Tenuta San Guido extra virgin olive oil is produced at the estate
of Marchesi Incisa della Rocchetta. The olive oil is made from the
first cold pressing of olives and has a low acidity. The olive oil
has an unusual aroma of olives, apples and spice with just a hint of
liquorice. It tastes grassy-fresh and nutty with a touch of sorrel
bitterness and lingering pepper. Olive types used are Frantoio,
Reggiola and Moraiolo. Picked by hand in November and early
December. The oil remains unfiltered. |
