Guado de' Gemoli 2019: Bolgheri Superiore of character and elegance

Guado de' Gemoli 2019 is the most authoritative expression of the Bolgheri style signed by Chiappini, a Tuscan red wine that combines structure, aromatic depth, and evolutionary capacity. It is born from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc from historic vineyards and tells the story of Bolgheri's vocation for great internationally styled reds with balance, without sacrificing finesse and territorial identity.

Territory and wine style

The DOC Bolgheri Superiore designation is among the most recognized on the Tuscan coast for the production of intense, elegant, and long-lived reds. In this case, the wine comes from parcels such as Le Grottine and Felciaino, on medium-textured soils with alluvial skeleton, elements that contribute to giving momentum, precision, and complexity to the final profile. The harvest takes place between the third decade of September and mid-October, depending on the development of the individual varieties, while vinification with natural yeasts in steel preserves the integrity and authenticity of the fruit. Aging in French oak barriques, partly new and partly second and third passage, adds finesse and harmony without masking the character of the wine.
