2023 Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto Tuscan Red Wine

Guidalberto: A Modern Classic from Tuscany’s Bolgheri Region

Discover Guidalberto—a sophisticated Bordeaux-style red blend crafted by Tenuta San Guido’s master winemakers in Italy’s sun-drenched Bolgheri region. This harmonious marriage of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon delivers rich fruit depth paired with crisp acidity, making it equally inviting for wine novices exploring bold blends or connoisseurs seeking refined complexity.

Born from over 20 years of meticulous experimentation, this wine combines traditional techniques with modern precision. Gently fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve bright fruit character, it then matures for 12 months in French oak barrels (30% new), blending subtle vanilla and spice notes with the wine’s vibrant core of ripe black cherry and dark plum flavors. The result is a seamless balance—velvety yet structured—without losing its lively freshness or Tuscany’s signature terroir-driven elegance.

On the palate, Guidalberto unfolds with layers of blackberry compote and cocoa nibs framed by hints of violet and toasted oak spice. Its polished texture pairs effortlessly with hearty dishes like herb-roasted lamb or beef Wellington, while vegetarians can enjoy its depth with earthy porcini risotto or grilled eggplant stacks drizzled in balsamic glaze.

This ruby-hued gem stands out among Italian Bordeaux blends for its approachable yet sophisticated profile—perfect for special occasions or relaxed evenings where quality meets versatility. At 13.5% alcohol, it offers richness without heaviness, ensuring every sip reflects Bolgheri’s sunny climate and San Guido’s legacy of crafting wines that transcend trends while honoring tradition.
