San Guido is one of many Bolgheri estates that is benefitting from a move towards a more polished style. To be sure, Sassicaia has always been the most restrained of Bolgheri’s super-stars, but the other wines – Le Difese and Guidalberto – have been more opulent in the past. A reduction of overall volume to favor quality is another positive sign here.

Vintages 2017 and 2016 could not be more different at Tenuta San Guido. Production is down significantly in 2017 - 45% for Le Difese, 15% for Guidalberto and 25% for Sassicaia - because of severe dehydration on the vine. Even so, the 2017s are gorgeous, but very much in the radiant style of a warm vintage. Readers will find much more classicism in the 2016s, wines that impress for their captivating aromatic intensity, depth and poise. In short, 2016 is a superb vintage for San Guido.
