Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto 2022

750ml

SGD 89.00

94 points, Robert Parker

Made with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the Tenuta San Guido 2022 Guidalberto gives you a good taste of the same DNA that brings us one of Italy's greatest wines, Sassicaia, but it's offered in a more immediate style here (thanks to the addition of the Merlot). This warm vintage opens to medium-dark concentration and very plump aromas that take you immediately to blackberry and blackcurrant sitting out in the sun at your local farmers market. The wine shows a soft and gentle side with a pretty level of elegance transmitted through the fruit freshness and the light oak spice that is discernible here but delivered with grace.

Tasting Profile

  • Body: Full-bodied
  • Tannins: Ripe and tight-grained. The tannins are present, silky and polished, offering a smooth texture rather than a grippy one.
  • Acidity: Bright and fresh. This acidity cuts through the richness of the wine, providing a balancing lift and contributing to its long, lingering finish.
  • Sweetness: Dry

Tasting Notes: Lots of mint with sage and fresh rosemary to the currant and orange character on the nose, as well as some ripe raspberries. The palate is very refined with creamy and crunchy tannins that run the length of the wine. It shows a crunchy and energetic personality. Give it a year or two to come together, but it’s showing brightness for the vintage.

Discover the Winery: Tenuta San Guido

Tenuta San Guido and Sassicaia is the realization of a dream held by the Marquis Mario Incisa della Rocchetta dating back to his student days in Pisa in the 1920's. He dreamed of creating a "noble" wine and like most of the Italian aristocracy at the time, his taste in wine ran strongly to fine Bordeaux.

After settling with his wife, Clarice, into their Tuscan estate at Tenuta San Guido on the Mediterranean Coast, the first vineyard was planted in the early 1940s with some French grafts of Cabernet Sauvignon purchased from Chateau Lafite. The Marquis’ use of Cabernet grapes and his implementation of the barriques aging process soon spread throughout Italy.

Sassicaia was the first Italian wine to successfully establish itself abroad, and is almost universally recognized as the father of the new Italian wine family or simply the Super Tuscan Pioneer. Mario Incisa della Rocchetta’s planting is now considered the birthplace of Italian Cabernet. Today the estate is in the hands of The Marchese Nicolo Incisa Della Rocchetta.

Alongside the iconic Sassicaia is 'Guidalberto' the second wine of the estate and then the most recent addition to the stable is the delicious 'Le Difese'.

Unlike some producers courting awards and plaudits the ethos here is to make superlative wine that displays the character of the vintage from the best terroir and the best grapes. There is no striving for homogeneity and no concession to popularity. The wines all display an inherent elegance and understated power that is completely compelling.
