Guidalberto Toscana IGT 2020 - Tenuta San Guido
€54.90
VAT included
Guidalberto is an elegant and intense red wine, born from the desire to produce a younger wine than Sassicaia, also using Merlot grapes. After 15 months of aging in barrique it is expressed in a bouquet of berries, coffee, spices and Mediterranean scrub. On the palate it is fruity, full, solid and persistent.

Guidalberto Tenuta San Guido can be considered as the little brother of Sassicaia, not for a lower quality but for a different drinkability compared to the flagship wine of the Bolgheri winery. Guidalberto, which takes its name from Nicolò della Gherardesca's great-grandfather, has led the estate for decades. Produced with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, in pure Bordeaux style, this wine saw the first bottle born in 2000.
