Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto 2022 375ml
$50.00
Volume: 375ml
Made with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the Tenuta San Guido 2022 Guidalberto gives you a good taste of the same DNA that brings us one of Italy’s greatest wines, Sassicaia, but it’s offered in a more immediate style here (thanks to the addition of the Merlot). This warm vintage opens to medium-dark concentration and very plump aromas that take you immediately to blackberry and blackcurrant sitting out in the sun at your local farmers market. The wine shows a soft and gentle side with a pretty level of elegance transmitted through the fruit freshness and the light oak spice that is discernible here but delivered with grace. – Robert Parker 94 pts
Guidalberto used to be great value for money, and even though it’s a bit pricier these days, the quality has also improved dramatically in recent vintages as Tenuta San Guido seeks to remove the idea of Guidalberto as a ‘second wine’ by building a dedicated winemaking facility and adjusting the blend. The 2022 is loaded with herbal and sea-breeze scents among bright, tangy berries. On the palate it is saline and precise, with succulence to the concentrated plum and blackberry core, and a graceful weave of tannin and acidity throughout. Sapid and incredibly moreish, with a beautifully ripe red-berry finish, it truly stands on its own. – Decanter 93 pts

Winemaking
Fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The aging lasted about 12 months in 225 L barrels (mainly French), of which 40% were new, 35% of one wine, and 25% of two to three wines, ensuring a good balance between tannic structure and aromatic expression. A short bottle aging precedes the marketing of this wine.
