✨ Technical Specifications
The 2022 Guidalberto is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, sourced from estate vineyards in the Bolgheri DOC of Tuscany. The soils here are characterized by a mix of limestone, clay, and stony alluvial deposits. The 2022 growing season in Bolgheri was marked by a hot, dry summer, which was mitigated by late-summer rains that allowed for optimal phenolic ripeness. The wine was fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and aged for 15 months in a combination of French and American oak barriques, followed by three months of refinement in the bottle.
🍾 About the Producer
Tenuta San Guido is a legendary wine estate situated along the Etruscan Coast in the Bolgheri sub-region of Tuscany, Italy. The estate's modern viticultural legacy began in the 1940s when Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta planted Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc on the gravelly soils of Castiglioncello, pioneering a Bordeaux-inspired revolution in Italian winemaking. Officially debuting commercially with the 1968 vintage, the estate created Sassicaia, the seminal 'Super Tuscan' that would eventually earn its own dedicated appellation, Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC. Managed with an enduring commitment to aristocratic elegance, restraint, and longevity, Tenuta San Guido crafts wines of extraordinary balance and finesse, highlighted by its world-renowned flagship Sassicaia and the acclaimed cuvée Guidalberto.
