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.
