Tenuta San Guido 2018 Guidalberto IGT Toscana Italy
93 Points Vinous | 92 Points Wine Enthusiast

The Tenuta San Guido 2018 Guidalberto is a beautifully balanced Super Tuscan from the legendary estate behind Sassicaia. Crafted from 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, this elegant red showcases the signature Bolgheri style with remarkable freshness and refinement. Aromas of black cherry, cassis, plum, violet, leather, licorice, and subtle spice lead into a full-bodied palate layered with ripe red and black fruits, vanilla, and restrained oak. Silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a polished finish make this an exceptional expression of Tuscany, offering both immediate appeal and excellent cellaring potential.
