Italy dominates the auction, led by a considerable depth of Tuscan greats. Fontodi spans the full range of the estate from the benchmark Chianti Classico through multiple vintages of Flaccianello della Pieve, their iconic Sangiovese IGT, to the crown jewel Vigna del Sorbo Chianti Classico Gran Selezione. The jewel in the crown of Tuscan reds, Brunello di Montalcino is well represented with offerings from Il Poggione, Casanova di Neri, Silvio Nardi, and the rare Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta. A group of curated Italian Collections rounds out the Italian session, offering mixed selections ideal for those seeking range across multiple producers in a single lot.

About this Item

Tenuta San Guido
Guidalberto 2020
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
From the same Tenuta San Guido estate in Bolgheri, the 2020 Guidalberto is made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, incorporating lots from within the estate that do not make the final selection for Sassicaia, giving the wine an inherent connection to the same exceptional terroir. The 2020, from a fine Bolgheri vintage, shows the characteristic energy, elegance and relative value for which Guidalberto has built its reputation. Jancis Robinson MW from JancisRobinson.com gave it 16.5 out of 20, Bruce Sanderson from Wine Spectator gave it a rating of 90, and Antonio Galloni from Vinous gave it a rating of 92.

Critics Ratings

“Deep, lustrous crimson but with no blueish tints. Very heady, voluptuous nose but not at all sweet. In fact it finishes dry with an attractive balsamic note. Excellent balance and sappy structure, very much a food wine. Too dry for a Manhattan cocktail bar! Good, serious wine that is usefully well advanced. Medium persistence.” - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Mar 2022)

“A lively, fluid red, displaying cherry, black currant, cedar, iron and spice aromas and flavors. Taut and balanced, with a slightly reserved finish today. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.” - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 90/100 (Sep 2022)

“The 2020 Guidalberto is a gorgeous, classy wine. Less opulent than it can be, the 2020 impresses with its energy and drive. Sweet red cherry, plum, mint, rose petal, cedar and pipe tobacco all take shape in this super-attractive, mid-weight offering from Tenuta San Guido. There's a bit more Merlot in the 2020, but Guidalberto is increasingly made from lots that don't make it into Sassicaia, which explains the style of recent vintages. This is a terrific showing, especially considering the recent bottling. It's a fine relative value in Bolgheri's high-rent district.” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 92/100 (Feb 2022)
