2022 Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto Toscana Rosso IGT

From: Tuscany, ItalyVarietals: 60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon Tasting Notes and Critical Acclaim: “This vintage is a bit closed on the nose at a young age, it needs to breathe in the glass to reach its rich aromatic complexity. It recalls the Mediterranean scrub and its essences, strawberry tree, juniper but also earthy and humus notes. Its complex nuances identify its belonging to the terroir of origin. In the mouth the tannins are perfectly integrated, and their maturity accompanies the natural length of the wine on the palate, where freshness and depth stay in the foreground. Excellent salinity, not intrusive, which gives good length and persistence to the nose.” —Winemaker’s notes "This red is elegant, despite its firm structure and dense tannins. Black cherry, black currant, plum, tobacco, iron and rosemary flavors hold court, while all the components show balance. The finish is long, with a salty taste.” —Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator 94 points (June 2024) “Made with Merlot
