The 2010 Tenuta San Guido Bolgheri Guidalberto is a Super Tuscan red wine, typically a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The 2010 vintage in Tuscany was exceptionally good, characterized by a cooler-than-normal year with a cold, damp winter and spring, which led to a slow and gradual phenolic ripeness of the grapes. This resulted in optimal content levels for the fruit. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks with 15 days of maceration for both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, then aged for 15 months in American and French oak barriques (one-third new), followed by another three months in bottle before release. Tasting notes for the 2010 Guidalberto describe it as a full-bodied wine with intense red fruit flavors and an elegantly supple texture, supported by ripe, silky tannins. The Merlot contributes sweet black fruit, while overall aromas include ripe, concentrated berries offset by restrained spicy oak notes. Critics also note cherry, blackberry, leather, and tobacco notes in the bouquet, with an intense but not overdone character. Some found it initially cool and inward, suggesting it needed a year or two to open up, revealing dark red cherries, flowers, licorice, and a hint of tobacco layered into a firm, structured finish. Others describe intense aromas of dried cherries and plums with hints of rose stem, a full body, fine tannins, and a crisp, delicious finish. 【An exceptionally good Super Tuscan from the 2010 vintage, offering a harmonious blend of intensity and elegance with significant aging potential】.
