A silky, polished style, offering black currant and black cherry fruit, shaded by accents of licorice, spice and mineral. Harmonious and long, presenting a seamless feel overall. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah.

A solid red with beautiful depth of fruit such as blackberry and dried strawberry. Full and very silky. I love the combination of chocolate, cream and berries. Spicy undertone. Second wine of Guado al Tasso.

The Guado al Tasso Estate is located in the prestigious Bolgheri DOC, part of the Tuscan coastal area of Maremma, known for its untamed landscape and unspoiled beauty. Just 60 miles southwest of Florence, it sits on a magnificent plain in the heart of the Bolgheri amphitheater, a natural phenomenon created by hills that embrace the sea and produce a mild and temperate microclimate. Blessed with ample sunshine and constant breezes that take the edge off the summer heat and winter cold, Guado al Tasso is the ideal environment for cultivating healthy vine growth and proper ripening of the estate’s grapes. Inherited from Carlotta della Gherardesca, and revolutionized by Niccoló Antinori, the mother and father of Piero Antinori, Guado al Tasso is a reference point property in the life and history of the family. Here the challenge is to create wines of absolute excellence, always representative of the Bolgheri history, culture, and winemaking traditions.
