Kirjeldus

Guidalberto on maailmakuulsa Tenuta San Guido (Sassicaia) veinimõisa nn. “teine vein”, mille esimene aastakäik oli 2000. Vein on nime saanud kuulsa pereliikme Guidalberto della Gherardesca järgi, kes 1800ndatel tegeles Bolgheris viinamarjakasvatamisega ning teda peetakse ka piirkonna veinitööstuse pioneeriks. Samuti on tema poolt istutatud Tenuta San Guido kuulus küpresspuude allee.

Nicolò Incisa della Rocchetta sõnul tehti Guidalberto kahel põhjusel: et näha, mida on võimalik teha Merlot viinamarjadega ning pakkuda veinisõpradele vein, mida oleks võimalik juua nooremalt kui Sassicaiat.

Guidalberto on valmistatud 60% Cabernet Sauvignon ja 40% Merlot viinamarjadest. Guidalberto veiniaedade pinnases on rohkesti lubjakivi, rikkaliku savi ning nad paiknevad 100-300 meetri kõrgusel merepinnast ideaalse lõunapoolse asetusega. Viinamarjad koristatakse käsitsi. Kääritamine toimub 12-14 päeva eri marjasordid eraldi lisamata pärmi 30 kraadi juures terasmahutites. Malolaktiline kääritamine toimub samuti terasmahutites. Vein laagerdub Prantsuse ja ka osaliselt Ameerika tammevaatides 15 kuud. Olenevalt aastakäigust, on kuni pooled vaatidest olnud eelnevalt kasutuses Sassicaia laagerdamiseks.

Guildalberto on suurepärase struktuuriga modernne vein ning veinimõisa üldist stiili järgides väga elegantne. Aroomis on tunda ploome, mustsõstart, tumedaid kirsse, piimašokolaadi ning õrnalt hiilib taustal kerge mündine vürtsikus, nahk ja magus puuviljasus. Maitse on täidlane ja pehmete tanniinidega. Väga siidine järelmaitse. Serveerida 17-18 kraadi juures Riedeli Bordeaux klaasist. Ideaalne joomsiaken 2022-2035.

“The Guidalberto 2022 gives you a good taste of the same DNA that gives us one of Italy’s greatest wines, Sassicaia, but it is offered here in a more immediate style. This warm vintage opens with a medium-dark concentration and very powerful aromas that immediately remind you of blackberries and blackcurrants lying in the sun at the farmers’ market. The wine shows a soft and gentle side with a nice level of elegance conveyed by the freshness of the fruit and the slight oak spice that is noticeable here, but with grace.” Wine Advocate 94 points

“Lots of mint with sage and fresh rosemary to go with the redcurrants and oranges on the nose, as well as some ripe raspberries. The palate is very refined with creamy and crisp tannins that run the length of the wine. It shows a crisp and energetic personality. It should be given another year or two to develop, but it is already very good for the vintage.” James Suckling 94 points

“This red wine is elegant, despite its firm structure and dense tannins. The flavours of black cherry, blackcurrant, plum, tobacco, iron and rosemary hold court, with all components balanced. The finish is long, with a salty flavour.” Wine Spectator 94 points

“Gently shining ruby red colour. Multi-layered bouquet, opens on ripe wild berries, redcurrant, notes of juniper, cedar and black pepper, a touch of lilac. Silky attack, precise fruit on very well-integrated, fine tannins, elegant and with gentle pressure in the long final.” Falstaff 94 points

“The 2022 is full of aromas of herbs and sea breeze amid bright, tangy berries. In the mouth, it is savoury and precise, with a juiciness to the concentrated core of plums and black berries and a gracefulness to the tannin and acidity structures that weave through it. Juicy and incredibly flavoursome, with a wonderfully ripe red berry finish, this wine really stands on its own two feet.” Decanter 93 points
