Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto is a sophisticated Tuscan red crafted by the legendary estate behind Sassicaia. Originally created as a tribute to Guidalberto della Gherardesca, an ancestor of the family who pioneered agricultural innovation in Bolgheri, this wine blends Bordeaux varietals with Tuscan elegance and balance.
Produced primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Guidalberto offers a more approachable and fruit-forward expression than Sassicaia while still maintaining the estate’s signature refinement, structure, and aging capability. Careful aging in French oak barrels enhances complexity without overpowering the purity of the fruit.
