Part of the Marchesi Antinori group since the 1930s, the Guado al Tasso estate is situated in the small yet prestigious Bolgheri DOC, along the upper Maremma coastline. The DOC Bolgheri achieved official recognition in 1995 and has since become a globally acknowledged benchmark in the Italian and international markets. Guado Al Tasso`s flagship wine typically consists of a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and occasionally a dash of Petit Verdot. The 2017 Guado Al Tasso presents a vibrant nose with subtle suggestions of small, ripe red fruits like raspberries, wild strawberries, arbutus, wild blackberries, complemented by undertones of laurel and mint. On the palate, the wine has a full-bodied character, showcasing persistent flavours. The tannins are both dense and velvety in texture. While this wine is ready for immediate enjoyment, it also has plenty of ageing potential.
