Tenuta San Guido - IGT Toscana - Guidalberto - Rouge - 2021

Wine:

The 2021 Red Guidalberto IGT Toscana is Sassicaia's second wine. Just as precise and inspiring, with a slightly softer texture in its youth, it does not suffer any comparison with the top wine. The great art of Tenuta San Guido is at work around these Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon aged in French and American oak, profiling a fresh, intense, and generous palate, with notes of spices, black olives, and wild blackberries. A great introduction to the Sassicaia style!

Vinification:

Hand harvested. The grapes are sorted directly in the vineyard and then a second sorting is done in the cellar. Destemming and gentle pressing to avoid brutal pressure on the grapes. Vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats. Aged in French and American oak barrels for 20 to 25 months.

Color:

Intense and brilliant garnet red.

Nose:

Subtly perfumed with notes of fresh and perfectly ripe red fruits accentuated by a woody background,

Palate:

Elegant and bright, this wine reveals delicate, velvety and supple tannins; delicately spiced flavors and a long and tasty finish.

Temperature:

Serve at 16 to 18°C.

Food and wine pairing:

Grilled rack of lamb with marinated peppers, roasted duck breast with mushroom sauce, veal filet mignon with cranberries

Cellar aging:

From now until 2031
