Tenuta San Guido 'Guidalberto' Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy 2024

From the legendary estate behind Sassicaia, Guidalberto is the more approachable, earlier-drinking expression of Tenuta San Guido, combining Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot for a softer, fruit-driven style. The 2024 is particularly fresh and elegant, with less weight and density than some recent vintages but plenty of Tuscan character. 52% Cabernet Sauvignon and 48% Merlot deliver layers of blackcurrant, cherry, wild berries, Mediterranean herbs and subtle cedar and spice, all framed by silky tannins and vibrant Tuscan acidity. Fresh, elegant and beautifully balanced, this is a polished wine that delivers the Tenuta San Guido style without the price or patience required by Sassicaia.
