A heady blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc to best represent the complex and elegant terroir found in Bolgheri. Guado al Tasso 2019 is an intense ruby red in the glass. Rich and alluring on the nose with notes of tobacco, liquorice, plums, toasted coffee and balsamic notes. Aromatic precision and purity on the palate, persistent and savoury. Tannins are of outstanding quality, very pleasant mid palate and finish. A vintage with great aging potential.
Producer Information
Tenuta Guado al Tasso is a Tuscan wine estate located on rolling hills near the coast in the Bolgheri amphitheater. It is a part of the Marchesi Antinori group, and is known for its wines made predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, rather than the region’s famous Sangiovese grape.There are 300 hectares (750 acres) planted with vines on the property. The proximity to the coast provides the vineyards with plentiful sea breezes which moderate the warm, sunny climate, while at the same time minimizing cloud cover.This means that the grapes can reach full ripeness while retaining acidity, which is essential to make a complex, balanced wine.
