The desire to try their hand at a grape never used before, Merlot, the desire to offer the consumer a product that could be appreciated younger and, finally, the opportunity to be able to further select the grapes to be used for Sassicaia. These are the three main reasons that led Nicolò Incisa della Rocchetta, Mario's son, to create a second wine.

Guidalberto is therefore considered the younger brother of Sassicaia, not for a lower quality but for a different drinkability compared to the flagship wine of the Bolgheri winery. It takes its name from Nicolò's great-grandfather, Guidalberto della Gherardesca, and is produced with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, in pure Bordeaux style.

Tasting Notes

It is a wine with a brilliant ruby red color. The nose opens with pleasant hints of wild berries, enriched by notes of coffee and nuances of Mediterranean scrub. On the palate it is full and powerful, with lively tannins and a long and persistent finish.

Pairings

Perfect to accompany red meats, it is ideal in combination with first courses based on meat sauce, game and aged cheeses.
