Name:
Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2022 Antinori
Terrain:
Clay-sandy to clay-silt
Cellar
The Antinori have dedicated themselves to the art of wine-making for more than six hundred years: ever since Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri in 1385.
For 26 generations, the family has always directly managed this activity with innovative and sometimes courageous choices, but always maintaining unaltered respect for tradition and for the territory.
Every vintage, every soil, every idea is a new beginning, a new search for ever higher quality margins. As Marquis Piero likes to say: "ancient roots play an important role in our philosophy, but they have never inhibited our innovative spirit".
Description
Guado al Tasso dei Marchesi Antinori is a famous Supertuscan made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and sometimes a small proportion of Petit Verdot grapes that represent the elegance, complexity and structure of the Bolgheri terroir. It is a great Tuscan wine with splendid harmony, refinement and persistence.
Organoleptic characteristics:
It has an intense ruby red colour. The nose presents itself with notes of small fruits
blacks, sweet spices, toasted wood and undergrowth. In the mouth, it displays a tannicity 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
evolve over time with a few more years of bottle ageing.
Storage time:
over 10 years
Vinification
Fermentation and maceration took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for 15 to 20 days.
