Experience the accessible luxury of Guidalberto 2023, the acclaimed second wine from Tenuta San Guido—creators of the legendary Sassicaia. Crafted from 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot grown in Bolgheri’s coastal vineyards, this 2023 vintage blends power, finesse, and early drinkability while retaining the estate’s world-class pedigree.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Ripe blackcurrant, wild blueberry, violet, graphite, and subtle Mediterranean scrub
  • Palate: Medium to full-bodied with juicy dark fruit, silky tannins, espresso, and fresh herbal lift
  • Finish: Polished, vibrant, and long—elegant structure with coastal freshness

Heritage & Craft

Named after ancestor Guidalberto della Gherardesca, this Super Tuscan is aged 15 months in French oak (30% new) to enhance texture without overpowering fruit. Hand-harvested, fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel, and bottled unfined. A perfect introduction to Bolgheri’s gravelly, sea-influenced terroir.

Perfect Pairings

  • Grilled ribeye or bistecca alla fiorentina
  • Wild boar ragù with pappardelle
  • Aged gouda or parmigiano

Decanter

"Super-fresh with balsamic herb, blueberry and floral aromatics, Guidalberto 2023 has blossomed into a grand vin all of its own. Invigorating cool forest berry flavours mingle with touches of spice and fine, silky tannins. So poised. Wow!"

James Suckling

"This vintage shows a remarkable aromatic profile of Mediterranean herbs, cassis, black cherries, leather and earth with a kind of gamey depth. Full-bodied, it shows velvety, slightly sandy tannins with a firm structure, refreshing integrated acidity and a savory cedar finish."
