San Walfredo Merlot Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2023 in wooden box

San Walfredo Rosso Superiore Merlot Tenuta Guado al Tasso Antinori 2023 is a Tuscan wine with great personality, born from a single vineyard in Bolgheri and interpreted with the rigorous and elegant style of the Antinori winery. A 100% Merlot designed for those seeking an important, rich, and refined red, capable of combining aromatic depth, structure, and a pleasant territorial imprint. The presentation in a single wooden box makes it an ideal choice for a prestigious gift or to enrich a private collection.

Territory and wine style

The wine comes from the Bolgheri area in Tuscany, within the Tenuta Guado al Tasso, in a coastal area characterized by alluvial soils rich in gravel and good natural aeration. This combination promotes balanced ripening and concentrated grapes, maintaining freshness and precision. San Walfredo thus expresses a style typical of the great coastal reds: intense, broad, and chiseled, with a modern profile yet deeply connected to the territory. Aging in barrique helps define the character of the wine without overshadowing the purity of the Merlot.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a very intense ruby red color, almost impenetrable, with violet reflections. On the nose, it offers a complex and noble bouquet, where blackberry, sour cherry, and dark plum emerge, along with hints of graphite, tobacco, spices, sandalwood, and slight balsamic notes. On the palate, it is enveloping and structured, with a well-present tannic texture that is integrated, good acidity tension, and a sensation of balance between power and finesse. The finish is long, persistent, and marked by returns of black fruit, spices, and toasted notes.

Recommended pairings

San Walfredo Merlot Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2023 naturally accompanies rich and flavorful main courses, such as beef fillet, braised dishes, roast lamb, game, and preparations with mushrooms. It also pairs well with aged cheeses and dishes from the Tuscan cuisine with significant structure. Its richness makes it suitable for special gastronomic occasions, where wines capable of supporting intense flavors and elaborate cooking are needed.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate San Walfredo Rosso Superiore Merlot, a serving temperature between 18 and 20°C is recommended. In the presence of a young and highly concentrated bottle, it may be helpful to open it in advance to encourage the evolution of the aromas and a better expression in the glass.
