Description
Tenuta Guado al Tasso is located in the small and prestigious DOC of Bolgheri, on the coast of Alta Maremma, about one hundred kilometres south-west of Florence. This appellation has a relatively short history (it was established in 1994) but boasts international fame as a new benchmark in the world wine scene. Bolgheri Vermentino is a young and fresh version of the typical Tuscan white, and is a light and mineral wine.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Straw yellow colour with greenish highlights. The nose is intense and characterised by hints of citrus fruits, white flowers and tropical fruit. On the palate it is savoury and of good persistence, with a fresh and pleasantly citrusy finish.
Storage time:
2-3 years
Vinification
Each plot was harvested separately, depending on the ripeness level of the grapes, in order to enhance the complex territorial characteristics of each vineyard. Alcoholic fermentation took place at a temperature of 16 °C. The different lots were carefully and regularly evaluated and blended.
