Marchese Nicolo Incisa della Rocchetta
Sommelier India|Spring 2023
Well, we all know vines need water from time to time but this particular morning the northeast coast of Italy was getting more than its fair share.
Jon Wyand
Marchese Nicolo Incisa della Rocchetta

My wife I were driving south looking for Bolgheri and Tenuta San Guido. Unsurprisingly my wife had been very keen to accompany me on this ten-day road trip around Tuscany and having arrived only yesterday at Pisa the forlorn dripping Cypresses at the roadside might have been a disappointing sight, grey and sad through the traffic spray.

We followed the sign to the left for Bolgheri and arriving at San Guido the rain was drenching.

We were directed to the offices of Marchese Nicolo Incisa della Rocchetta. I was grateful that the instructions I had were to photograph him with his beloved race horses rather than in a Sassicaia vineyard.
