The Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore by Antinori is born from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (62%), Cabernet Franc (18%), Merlot (18%), and Petit Verdot (2%) grapes grown within the Guado al Tasso estate, in the heart of the DOC Bolgheri, one of the world's most renowned areas for exceptional viticulture. Here, the soils are of alluvial origin - clay-sandy and clay-silty - and the vineyards are situated 50 meters above sea level at the foot of the so-called Bolgheri Amphitheater formed by gentle hills facing the sea. The Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore is a prestigious red wine, the true flagship of the Antinori winery: for its production, the vineyards were divided into single harvesting parcels according to the climatic trend of the vintage, and the grapes were vinified separately. The alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 15°C-20°C. Once assembled, the wine rested for about 18 months in new French oak barriques before being marketed.

GUADO AL TASSO BOLGHERI SUPERIORE ANTINORI: TASTING NOTES

The Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore by Antinori presents itself in the glass with an intense ruby red color. Broad and complex, on the nose it expresses enveloping aromas of plum and small wild berries in jam, combined with hints of licorice root and balsamic and sweet spice notes. The sip is silky and elegant, enhanced by a smooth tannic texture and an irresistible gustatory freshness that persists in the long finish. It pairs well with aged cheeses and structured dishes based on red meat and game.
