Guidalberto Tenuta San Guido 2016

Guidalberto is a red wine elegant and intense, born from the desire to produce a younger wine than Sassicaia, also using Merlot grapes. After aging for 15 months in barrique, it expresses itself in a bouquet of berries, coffee, spices and Mediterranean scrub. The sip is fruity, full, solid and persistent

GUIDALBERTO TENUTA SAN GUIDO 2016 DESCRIPTION

Guidalberto is a wine with great structure and balance, with good aging potential. A wine that touches peaks of excellence as the hands that create it are the same as his brother's famous Sassicaia. The grape of Cabernet Sauvignon and in stony lands unexplored oenologically of Tuscany, which closely resemble those of Graves in Bordeaux, were considered exotic at the timeof their plant, in the '20s, as well as experimenting with new methods of vinification and maturation.

Only in the years to follow, the world became aware of how the "madness" had given birth to one of the largest companies and authentic Italian wine scene, leading to the production of great wines such as Sassicaia and this excellent Guidalberto.
