The Jeroboam format of Tenuta San Guido's Guidalberto IGT is a true expression of grandeur and generosity, intended for shared moments and special celebrations. This prestigious red wine, coming from the Tuscan hills, is the result of a scrupulous selection of the best Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, which blend together to create a work of oenological art that reflects the essence and innovation of Tenuta San Guido.

With its 3 liter capacity, the Jeroboam invites you to a shared experience, intensifying the pleasure of tasting through the larger volume which guarantees a slightly different evolution of the wine over time compared to smaller formats, offering unique nuances and more harmonious maturation .

On the nose, Guidalberto IGT stands out for its intensity and complexity: a bouquet of ripe black fruit, notes of dark chocolate and accents of Mediterranean herbs blend with elegant hints of tobacco and leather, the result of careful maturation in barriques which gives depth without overpowering the freshness of the fruit.

In the mouth, the wine surprises with its richness and balance, with silky tannins intertwined with lively acidity, leading to a long and memorable finish. The full body and robust structure make Guidalberto perfect for accompanying intense dishes, such as roasts, braised meats and blue cheeses, but also to be contemplated on its own, as a meditation.

Guidalberto's Jeroboam represents not only a quality choice for wine lovers, but also a symbol of conviviality and sharing, a real treasure to open on the most joyous occasions, to celebrate Italian wine excellence and unforgettable moments.


The winery

Tenuta San Guido – Winery in Toscana

Discover the story and wines of Tenuta San Guido.

A winery in the Tuscan Maremma (Bolgheri) known for the celebrated Sassicaia, a Bordeaux-style Super‑Tuscan.
Region: Toscana
Country: Italia
Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Sangiovese
Producer of Sassicaia, the emblematic label of the "Super Tuscan" movement. Estate covering approximately 2,500 hectares in Maremma di Bolgheri. Two second wines are already on the market: Guidalberto and Le Difese. Diversified agricultural production: vineyards, olive groves, and initiatives related to wildlife and land conservation. Collaboration for the "Grappa di Sassicaia" distilled by Poli, using pomace from Tenuta San Guido.
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.
