An Exclusive Dinner Featuring the Iconic Sassicaia – Toronto – Nov 13
An Evening You Won’t Forget
WineAlign is pleased to invite you to an exclusive five-course dinner at BlueBlood Steakhouse featuring the wines of Tenuta San Guido, including three vintages of the iconic Sassicaia. Priscilla Incisa della Rocchetta and WineAlign’s David Lawrason will be on hand to introduce these spectacular wines and the delicious food they are paired with.
Hailed as the standard-bearer of Italian enology, the historic Tenuta San Guido estate is known for crafting Sassicaia, the world’s first Super Tuscan and an important contribution to Italy’s evolving reputation as a fine-wine producing nation in the mid-20th century. From the ambition of Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta to plant Bordeaux varieties in Tuscany in the 1940s to the arrival of acclaimed consulting oenologist Giacomo Tachis to the introduction of two additional wines to the brand, Tenuta San Guido has vaulted from success to success.
