"Guidalberto is perhaps the most gastronomic wine of the Tuscan coast. It comes mainly from those vineyards of Tenuta San Guido that are outside its own DOC Bolgheri Sassicaia. They are also younger, on average, than the vineyards designated for Sassicaia production. The 40 percent Merlot content also ensures greater accessibility while still young. 'This was our goal from the beginning; we wanted to produce a wine with Guidalberto that is already very enjoyable to drink in its youth,' Priscilla Incisa della Rocchetta emphasizes, 'however, several vertical tastings have shown that Guidalberto can nevertheless age very well.'" - Meiningers Weinwelt
