Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto 2023

Product Info

Guidalberto is the second wine of Tenuta San Guido — the legendary Bolgheri estate that gave the world Sassicaia — and a wine that stands entirely on its own merits as one of Tuscany’s most compelling Super Tuscans. The 2023 vintage is a Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend that channels the maritime influence of the Tyrrhenian coast into a wine of remarkable elegance, freshness, and depth.

Deep ruby with violet highlights, the nose is refined and expressive: blackcurrant, dark cherry, and ripe plum are interwoven with notes of tobacco leaf, graphite, Mediterranean herbs, and a subtle coastal salinity that is unmistakably Bolgheri. On the palate, the wine is medium-full bodied with polished, well-integrated tannins, a vibrant acidity, and a long, composed finish that carries flavors of dark fruit, cedar, and warm spice through to an elegant close.

Where Sassicaia commands reverence, Guidalberto offers access to the same philosophy of precision and terroir at a more approachable price point — a wine for those who understand that great estates reveal themselves across their entire range. Pair with bistecca alla Fiorentina, roasted lamb, aged Pecorino, or a classic Tuscan ribollita.
