Why We're Buying
Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto offers a deft blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot. From the producers behind the legendary Sassicaia, the two wines share many similarities. The difference is that this red wine allows people to enjoy it at a younger age. Full-bodied with defined texture and silky tannins, Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto increased 11.6 in price in 2020.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A deft and bright blend to serve with a platter of creamy Camembert wedges, the 2018 Guidalberto is 60 Cabernet Sauvignon supplemented with 40 Merlot, showing a smooth and silky delivery of aromas with black fruit and sour cherry backed by spice, pressed flower and tilled earth. These are fragrant and delicate results fitted to a medium-weight finish that is driven by freshness and elegant tannins.
Wine Enthusiast
Made with 60 Cabernet Sauvignon and 40 Merlot, this smooth red opens with aromas of cassis, vanilla, violet and a whiff of bell pepper. Racy and delicious, the linear palate doles out juicy red currant, black cherry and vanilla set against lithe tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced and fresh. Drink through 2025.
Vinous
The 2018 Guidalberto, tasted from an approximate blend from barrel, is positively stellar. I can only hope that the bottled wine is as fresh, vibrant and nuanced as this sample. A rush of black cherry, plum, spice, leather and licorice graces the 2018 with striking depth and nuance. Light on its feet and deep, the 2018 has a lot to offer. In many years, Guidalberto can be a rather rich wine, but in 2018 it is very closely aligned with the house style. Rating: (90-93)
