The blend combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot in a balance that elegantly and deeply interprets the character of the Bolgheri territory.

Territory and wine style

Guado al Tasso is born in Bolgheri, in one of the most prestigious areas of the Tuscan coast, where the climate and soils contribute to creating intense yet refined wines. The vineyards develop on alluvial soils, with clay-sandy and clay-silty components, along with the presence of gravel, elements that favor complexity and finesse. The 2022 vintage, marked by scarce rainfall until much of the summer and a staggered harvest between September and the end of the month, has produced healthy and well-balanced grapes, with a profile that combines fruit maturity, freshness, and good tension.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents with an intense ruby red. The bouquet initially plays on flowers and red fruits, then unfolds towards hints of sweet spices, tobacco, and licorice root. On the palate, the wine is savory, silky, and well-balanced, with an elegant tannic structure that supports the sip without weighing it down. The drinking experience is already very pleasant today, but the substance, harmony, and significant format suggest a positive evolution over time.

Recommended pairings

The structure and finesse of Guado al Tasso 2022 make it perfect for rich and flavorful preparations. It pairs well with braised dishes, roasted red meats, fillet, grilled ribs, not overly gamey game, oven-roasted lamb, and dishes with mushrooms or truffles. Excellent also with aged cheeses and traditional Tuscan cuisine, especially when served in more important and aromatic versions.

Serving temperature

Serve Guado al Tasso 2022 at a temperature between 16 and 18 °C. If opened young, it can benefit from a bit of aeration in a decanter to best express its aromatic profile and tannic structure.
