Guado al Tasso 2021 DOC Bolgheri Superiore Magnum

Guado al Tasso 2021 by Antinori in Magnum format is a great red from Bolgheri Superiore DOC, a refined expression of the Tuscan territory and the production vision of one of Italy's most authoritative wineries. Born from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, it combines power, elegance, and depth in a wine designed for important tables and aging.

Territory and wine style

The wine comes from the vineyards of Bolgheri, a coastal area characterized by alluvial soils with clay and sandy components, along with the presence of gravel. This natural base contributes to giving balance, structure, and tension to the sip. The 2021 vintage, marked by a dry season but well supported by the water reserves accumulated in winter, favored a slow and regular maturation, with intact and fruit-rich grapes. The result is a modern and territorial style, intense yet measured, capable of uniting aromatic richness and expressive finesse.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red. The bouquet is broad and complex, with hints of currant, blackberry, and blood orange, accompanied by spicy nuances, tobacco, licorice, and toasted coffee. On the palate, Guado al Tasso 2021 is enveloping, deep, and persistent, with vibrant yet silky tannins and a flavor profile of great coherence. The structure is significant, supported by a rich profile and a long finish, which leaves room for a very interesting evolution over time.

Recommended pairings
