Wine Review: Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto Toscana IGT 2017

Today our Wine-Director David Allen MW tastes the Guidalberto 2017, an exciting IGT Toscana from the acclaimed Tenuta San Guido. A sister wine to the original Super-Tuscan wine Sassicaia. Tenuta San Guido best known for its most famous wine – Sassicaia. It is located in the Tuscan region of Maremma, and is has its own single-estate DOC appellation (Bolgheri Sassicaia) for its flagship label. Sassicaia, was the original Super Tuscan wine, being made Cabernet Sauvignon with a small amount of Cabernet Franc. It is known for its supple texture, elegance and perfume. Tenuta San Guido also makes Guidalberto and Le Difese, predominantly from fruit from other estate vineyards. These two wines are classified as IGT Toscana. Guidalberto is a Cabernet Sauvignon – Merlot blend, and Le Difese Cabernet Sauvignon – Sangiovese, with a portion being aged in American oak. Sassicaia ("stony field" in English) was created as an experimental wine in the 1940s by the Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta (a cousin of the Antinoris), who dreamed of making a wine to rival great Bordeaux. On settling at his wife's estate, he experimented with several French varieties before focusing on Cabernet Sauvignon, noting the similarity between the local gravelly terrain and that of Graves in Bordeaux.
