Antinori's Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore is born from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (62%), Cabernet Franc (18%), Merlot (18%) and Petit Verdot (2%) grapes grown on the Guado al Tasso estate, in the heart of the DOC Bolgheri, one of the most suitable areas in the world for excellent viticulture. Here the soils are of an alluvial nature - clayey-sandy and clayey-silty - and the vineyards rise 50 metres above sea level, at the foot of the so-called Bolgherese Amphitheatre formed by gentle hills overlooking the sea. Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore is a prestigious red, the real flagship of the Antinori winery: for its production, the vineyards have been divided into individual harvesting plots according to the climatic trend of the year and the grapes have been vinified separately. Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 15° C - 20° C. Once blended, the wine rested for about 18 months in new French oak barrels before being marketed.

GUADO AL TASSO BOLGHERI SUPERIORE ANTINORI: TASTING

Antinori's Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore  has an intense ruby red colour in the glass. Broad and complex, on the nose, it expresses enveloping aromas of plum and small berries in jam combined with hints of liquorice root and balsamic notes and sweet spices. The sip is silky and elegant, enhanced by a smooth tannic texture and an irresistible gustatory freshness that persists in the long finish. At the table, it goes well with aged cheeses or structured courses based on red meats or game.
