Description

Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and occasionally a small amount of Petit Verdot, representing the elegance, complexity, and structure of the Bolgheri terroir. Produced since 1990, it comes from vineyards located on alluvial soils, ranging from sandy-clay to silty-clay, with the presence of Bolgheri agglomerate (scheletro).
The Guado al Tasso area is characterized by the Bolgheri Amphitheater, a series of hills enclosing the plain overlooking the sea, creating a unique microclimate with wide temperature variations. The Guado al Tasso vineyards are located at the foot of the Amphitheater, and at night, cold air descends from the hills to cool the vine rows. These unique climatic conditions give the grapes a distinctive aroma and ensure perfect ripening.

Tasting notes

Guado al Tasso displays a deep ruby ​​red color. The nose is captivating with notes of small black fruits, sweet spices, toasted wood, and underbrush. On the palate, it displays a tannic texture of splendid harmony, refinement, and persistence. A wine already enjoyable in its youth, perhaps even more so than the previous vintage, but capable of improving and evolving over time with a few more years of bottle aging.

Cellar

Tenuta Guado al Tasso is located in the small but prestigious Bolgheri DOC, on the coast of Alta Maremma, about one hundred kilometers southwest of Florence. This appellation has a relatively short history (established in 1995) but boasts international fame as a new benchmark in the global winemaking scene. Tenuta Guado al Tasso extends across 320 hectares of vineyards, on a splendid plain surrounded by hills known as the "Bolgheri amphitheater" due to its unique shape. The Guado al Tasso vineyards are planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Vermentino grapes. They enjoy a mild climate thanks to the nearby sea: constant breezes mitigate the summer heat and the harsh winters, clearing the sky and maintaining high levels of sunshine.
