critic reviews
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.
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.
