94 / 100"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. - Monica Larner"

"Guidalberto used to be great value for money, and even though it's a bit pricier these days, the quality has also improved dramatically in recent vintages as Tenuta San Guido seeks to remove the idea of Guidalberto as a ‘second wine’ by building a dedicated winemaking facility and adjusting the blend. The 2022 is loaded with herbal and sea breeze scents among bright, tangy berries. In the mouth it is saline and precise, with a succulence to the concentrated plum and black berry core, and a gracefulness to the tannic and acid structures which weave through it. Sapid and incredibly moreish, with a beautifully ripe red berry finish, this really does stand up on its own two feet. - James Button"

Tasting Notes
Tenuta San Guido's Guidalberto Toscana IGT 2022 is a refined nod to the estate's legacy, rooted in the 1960s with the creation of Sassicaia, Italy’s first Super Tuscan. Crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Guidalberto offers an accessible taste of Bolgheri’s top terroir, with rich dark fruit, spice, and balanced acidity. Inspired by founder Mario Incisa della Rocchetta’s vision, this wine bridges the estate’s history with modern elegance, ready to enjoy now or to age gracefully over the next decade.
