The rolling, sun-drenched, cypress-lined hills of Tuscany are rightly known for Chianti, made from the traditional Sangiovese grape. But while Italy is a land of antiquity, its people are also trendsetters who are always on the cusp of what’s new: be it design, fashion, or luxury automobiles. And as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot began their ascendancy in California in the 1970s, winemakers in Tuscany took notice. They also realized that their sunny Mediterranean climate, similar to that of Napa Valley, would probably be perfect for growing these Bordeaux varieties. Thus emerged what the wine world calls the Super Tuscans, most famously the widely renowned bottlings from the houses of Sassicaia, Ornellaia, and Tignanello.

Guidalberto, from the esteemed Tenuta San Guido, is affectionately referred to as Sassicaia’s little brother. Soft, plush, and velvety, this wine is a perfect blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. It is aged 15 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels. This is a gorgeous, classy wine, rife with aromas of sweet red cherry, plum, mint, and pipe tobacco. Flavors of cassis and blueberry compote meld with moderate tannins in a long, supple finish. This is the wine to drink and enjoy while you wait for your Sassicaia to mature in your cellar!
