Tenuta San Guido Description

Guidalberto's name comes from Guidalberto della Gherasdesca, Nicolo Incisa della Rochetta great great great grandfather. He lived in the early nineteenth century in Bolgheri and was a pioneer of modern agriculture, and is famous for having planted the cypress alley that inspired the poet Giosuè Carducci. Guidalberto is from the producers of the legendary Sassicaia. Grapes are harvested and transported to an independent cellar. Fermentation takes place separately for each variety in temperature-controlled steel vats before undergoing maceration. 

50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot. Upon completion of the malolactic fermentation, the wine was placed in French oak barriques and 20% of American oak barriques, for a period of 15 months. Subsequent fining for 3 months in glass before release.

Wine Advocate: 92 Points

The 2020 Guidalberto is taut and tight with plenty of tart cherry and wild berry. The wine offers great freshness and tension with bay leaf, spice, wild cherry and pressed lavender buds. There is a hint of black olive too. The blend is equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Anticipated Maturity: 2022-2030
