The Guidalberto Tenuta San Guido, produced by the renowned Tenuta San Guido winery, is a red wine that stands out for its blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. Hailing from the Tuscany region, this wine is made from grapes sourced from young vineyards located at altitudes ranging from 100 to 300 meters, facing south and southwest. The soils of these vineyards are quite varied, with significant presence of limestone rich in marl and a mix of stones and clay, providing unique characteristics to the terroir.
The vinification process of the Guidalberto is meticulous: grapes are hand-selected to ensure quality. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 26 and 28ºC for about 15 days. The wine is then transferred to French and American oak barrels, where it undergoes aging for 15 months. To enhance its roundness, the wine is left to rest in the bottle for an additional 3 months before being released to the market, following a process similar to the renowned Sassicaia.
This wine showcases a ruby red hue in appearance, and its aroma is intense, with notes of red and black fruits such as plums and currants, along with hints of dark spices, tobacco, and earthy nuances. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth and elegant texture complemented by juicy tannins and a lengthy finish. It is particularly recommended to pair with roasted red meats, game birds, and braised lamb.
