Fresh, elegant and energetic with a surprisingly long finish and a lighter framework than recent solar vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarking its 25th vintage, Guidalberto has become one of the standout value wines from Bolgheri. Born in the 1990s as a Merlot–Cabernet Sauvignon blend, it has steadily earned praise from critics worldwide. Softer tannins mean it’s approachable earlier than Sassicaia, which is why it’s a favourite on top restaurant wine lists from London to beyond. Yet for those who like to wait, Guidalberto rewards careful cellaring as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FINE WINE DIRECT","offers":[{"title":"6 bottle case 6x75cl","offer_id":56710144885109,"sku":null,"price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/files\/Guidalberto_edcdcbd1-d28c-4dd0-8b1e-28ab10731e59.png?v=1770464026","url":"https:\/\/www.finewinedirect.co.uk\/products\/guidalberto-2024","provider":"Fine Wine Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
