Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore 2021

The Guado al Tasso estate is located in the prestigious Bolgheri DOC, on the coast of upper Maremma, about one hundred kilometers southwest from Florence. DOC Bolgheri was approved in 1995 and since then it has become an internationally recognized reference point for the Italian and international winemaking arena.

Owned by the Marchesi Antinori family, The Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Rosso is a flagship "Super Tuscan" first produced in 1990. It is a Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc.

Il Bruciato (The Burnt One) was first produced in 2002 in one of the most difficult vintages ever for the Guado al Tasso estate. The wine is a modern interpretation of Bolgheri's unique terroir made from carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah grapes from Guado al Tasso's vineyards. The geological composition of the soil is diversified giving the wine structure and complexity.

The Guado al Tasso estate’s most characteristic geographic feature is the Bolgheri Amphitheater, a beautiful plain encircled by rolling hillsides that faces the Tyrrhenian Sea. The shape of the territory creates a unique microclimate with beneficial temperature fluctuations. The estate’s vineyards are located at the foot of the amphitheater, an optimal position as cold nocturnal breezes cool down the vines. These particular climatic conditions give the grapes pronounced aromas and guarantee a perfect ripening of the berries.
