2015 Guidalberto, Tenuta San Guido, Bolgheri, Tuscany

£49.75 inc. VAT

Yes, it’s Sassicaia’s little brother and what a wine you get here!

This wine comes from fruit that doesn’t make it into Sassicaia itself but still from top quality vineyards. Now, taking into account that Sassicaia is trading at over £200 per bottle this makes Guidalberto an absolute steal.

“The Tenuta San Guido team commented that ‘In 2015 the grapes were of an excellent quality, perfectly ripened, [but] pretty cool and crisp, giving wines with great structure and elegant, soft tannins.’ This 2015 Guidalberto, served from magnum in which the wine tends to age more slowly than in bottle, was just beautiful and one of the stars of the tasting for me. The wine is deeply coloured with very intense, ripe and perfumed black cherry and blackcurrant aromas and flavours. Very bright and vivid, the wine opens gently on the palate, with super-fine tannins and mouthwatering freshness. A lovely example of the vintage!” 95 points Decanter Magazine
