Description

The Guidalberto IGT in Magnum format (1.5 litres) from Tenuta San Guido is a choice of distinction for connoisseurs who seek not only a wine of exceptional quality but also a format that celebrates sharing and elegance. This wine, a symbol of innovation and Tuscan wine tradition, is presented in a format that enhances its aging potential, offering an even richer and deeper tasting experience.

Fruit of the blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Guidalberto best expresses the characteristics of the Bolgheri terroir. The care in vinification and barrique aging is reflected in the quality of the wine, which exhibits a perfect balance between structure and drinkability.

On the nose, the wine releases intense aromas of berries, cassis and spicy notes of black pepper and liquorice, enriched by nuances of tobacco and chocolate deriving from the elegant passage in wood. The olfactory complexity translates into a tasting that reveals great harmony: in the mouth, the wine is powerful but at the same time soft, with well-integrated tannins and a freshness that invites the next sip.

The choice of the Magnum format is not accidental: in addition to guaranteeing optimal aging, it is ideal for special occasions, allowing you to share the richness of this wine with friends and family. The Guidalberto Magnum is a real investment for the future, promising to evolve beautifully over the years.

This wine pairs beautifully with rich, structured dishes, such as grilled red meats, roasts, mushroom dishes and mature cheeses, enhancing their flavors and helping to create an unforgettable culinary experience. Tenuta San Guido's Guidalberto IGT Magnum is, without a doubt, a jewel in the crown of Italian viticulture, celebrating the passion and art of making wine.

Winery history

The estate is tied to the Incisa della Rocchetta family: Mario Incisa began experimenting with French varieties in Bolgheri and the private production of Sassicaia became commercial with the 1968 harvest. Over time Nicolò Incisa and his collaboration with winemaker Giacomo Tachis helped consolidate its reputation; subsequently the estate expanded its range with Guidalberto and Le Difese. Sassicaia obtained a reserved denomination, which reinforced the label’s distinctiveness.

Production philosophy

The estate's philosophy emphasizes respect for the ecosystem, the balance between people and nature, and an agricultural approach attentive to quality; the estate states agronomic practices aimed at soil care and sustainable management of its crops.

Terroir and vineyards

The estate extends into the Tuscan Maremma, in the Bolgheri area, on predominantly gravelly and stony soils reminiscent of the Graves formations in Bordeaux. The microclimate benefits from the maritime influence and the shelter of the hills behind it, factors that contribute to its suitability for Bordeaux grape varieties.

Awards and recognitions

International recognition for Sassicaia includes top scores from international critics and prominent placements in landmark tastings, such as the Decanter tasting in which Sassicaia was acknowledged. In addition, the 2015 vintage was named Wine of the Year by Wine Spectator.
