Descrizione

Tenuta San Guido's Guidalberto represents excellence in the field of Italian wines, positioning itself as a superb example of versatility and quality. Produced in the renowned region of Tuscany, this cuvée stands out for its elegant structure and its aromatic complexity, the result of skilful winemaking that combines tradition and innovation.

The 375ml bottle is perfect for special occasions or for an intimate tasting, offering a unique olfactory and gustatory experience. On the nose, Guidalberto opens with notes of ripe red fruits, sweet spices and a light touch of vanilla and tobacco, thanks to the maturation in barrique which perfectly harmonises the various components.

In the mouth, the wine is structured but at the same time soft, with a perfect balance between acidity and tannins. The fruity notes mix with the spicy ones in a long and persistent finish, which invites another sip. The varietal composition is mainly based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which contribute to giving this wine exceptional complexity and longevity.

Ideal as an accompaniment to red meat dishes, game and mature cheeses, Tenuta San Guido's Guidalberto also lends itself to aging which will further enhance its qualities. A jewel of Tuscan winemaking, which embodies the elegance and power of the terroir of origin, making it a must for wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs.

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.
