Description

Guidalberto est en quelque sorte le frère cadet de Sassicaia. Produit depuis 2000 à partir de vignes plus jeunes, il est parfaitement fidèle au style de son grand frère. Le Cabernet Sauvignon y est associé au Merlot qui vient apporter sa richesse, sa densité, sa finesse et sa fraîcheur pour donner un vin raffiné et particulièrement élégant.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

This wine is showing exceptionally well in this classic vintage. The 2016 Guidalberto (Cabernet Sauvignon and a smaller percentage of Merlot) opens to a full and generous bouquet and a beautifully rich and velvety appearance. This edition of Tenuta San Guido's mid-level wine offers a bigger aromatic profile, more texture and more volume as well. Dark cherry and blackberry segue to spice, tar, leather and sweet fruit at the end. The mouthfeel is elegantly shaped, silky and nuanced. This may well be the best vintage of Guidalberto I have yet to taste—and you can get this wine at a great price too. - Monica Larner. 

James Suckling:

This is extremely perfumed with aromas of lavender, cinnamon, blackberries, bark and blackcurrants. Full-bodied, extremely refined and polished. Gorgeous fruit and balance. Best ever bottling of this pretty wine from the producers of Sassicaia? Drink or hold.

Decanter:

From near the Bolgheri coast, this shows San Guido’s trademark elegance. Spices, leather, floral notes; ripe, pure cassis and glossy tannins. A great-value alternative to Sassicaia.
