San Guido Description
San Guido Guidalberto opens a bit reserved at first, needing a moment in the glass to reveal its rich aromatic complexity. Hints of Mediterranean scrub, strawberry tree, juniper, and earthy humus emerge, beautifully expressing its unique terroir. On the palate, perfectly integrated tannins support the wine’s natural length, with freshness and depth taking center stage. Subtle salinity enhances the persistence, making each sip linger delightfully. This versatile red pairs wonderfully with Bolognese and other meat sauces, grilled pork or beef, and roasted dishes, creating an elegant yet approachable dining experience.
James Suckling: 94 Points
Lots of mint with sage and fresh rosemary to the currant and orange character on the nose, as well as some ripe raspberries. The palate is very refined with creamy and crunchy tannins that run the length of the wine. It shows a crunchy and energetic personality. Give it a year or two to come together, but it’s showing brightness for the vintage.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
Made with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the Tenuta San Guido 2022 Guidalberto gives you a good taste of the same DNA that brings us one of Italy's greatest wines, Sassicaia, but it's offered in a more immediate style here (thanks to the addition of the Merlot). This warm vintage opens to medium-dark concentration and very plump aromas that take you immediately to blackberry and blackcurrant sitting out in the sun at your local farmers market. The wine shows a soft and gentle side with a pretty level of elegance transmitted through the fruit freshness and the light oak spice that is discernible here but delivered with grace.
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the 2022 Guidalberto has lovely aromas of ripe wild berry, Mediterranean herb and a whiff of brown exotic spice. It’s surprisingly vibrant for the scorching vintage, featuring black currant, juniper berry, star anise and dried mint set against fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
This red is elegant, despite its firm structure and dense tannins. Black cherry, black currant, plum, tobacco, iron and rosemary flavors hold court, while all the components show balance. The finish is long, with a salty taste. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Decanter: 93 Points
Guidalberto used to be great value for money, and even though it's a bit pricier these days, the quality has also improved dramatically in recent vintages as Tenuta San Guido seeks to remove the idea of Guidalberto as a ‘second wine’ by building a dedicated winemaking facility and adjusting the blend. The 2022 is loaded with herbal and sea breeze scents among bright, tangy berries. In the mouth it is saline and precise, with a succulence to the concentrated plum and black berry core, and a gracefulness to the tannic and acid structures which weave through it. Sapid and incredibly moreish, with a beautifully ripe red berry finish, this really does stand up on its own two feet.
Antonio Galloni: 91 Points
The 2022 Guidalberto is a delicious, approachable wine with plenty of charm. Crushed flowers, red-toned fruit, cinnamon, licorice and a kiss of oak are all woven together in this gracious, mid-weight offering from Tenuta San Guido. Despite the torrid, dry vintage, Guidalberto retains lovely freshness to match its understated personality. The slender, lithe finish is quite attractive.
