A Tuscan red wine from an exceptional heritage
The estate
The Tenuta San Guido, located between Livorno and Grosseto on the Tyrrhenian coast, is where Marquis Mario Incisa della Rocchetta and his wife realized their dream of producing a great Bolgheri wine in the 1940s. By introducing cabernet sauvignon in place of traditional grape varieties, they gave birth to the legendary Sassicaia, one of the most prestigious crus worldwide.
The vineyard
The vineyard of Tenuta San Guido extends over the coastal hills of Tuscany, benefiting from a Mediterranean climate and a soil rich in limestone and clay. The Guidalberto cuvée comes from a plot located near the Sassicaia vineyard, benefiting from a southern exposure and a soil rich in pebbles.
The vintage
The 2022 vintage was marked by a mild and rainy winter, followed by a sunny and warm spring, promoting early and homogeneous flowering. The summer was punctuated by a few rainy episodes, but the overall weather conditions allowed for optimal ripening of the grapes, with a good balance between acidity and sugars.
Blend
The Guidalberto 2022 is a red wine made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
