Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto 2022

Wonderfully evocative of Bolgheri’s prized terroir, Guidalberto shows what is possible when Merlot’s seductive fruit complements Cabernet Sauvignon’s tannic structure. Whilst the 2022 vintage was hot and yields are correspondingly low, grapes from the estate’s hillside vineyards provided an excellent balance of ripe fruit, refreshing acidity, and moderate alcohol. A triumph in a hot vintage, Guidalberto is lovely now, but give it 3-5 years in the cellar and you will be rewarded.
