The Tenuta Guado al Tasso estate is located near Bolgheri, in the Maremma region on the Tuscan coast. Guado al Tasso Il Bruciato takes its name from a Robin Hood-like figure who lived in the Bolgheri area. Antinori showcases the area's potential with this wine, a very rich yet elegant blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. An exquisite Supertuscan wine.

This intense ruby-red wine has a red blackberry aroma, is slightly spicy, and offers aromatic hints of oak. The taste is very smooth, pleasant, and has a lovely, long, full finish. After the grapes are harvested in mid-September, the Merlot and Syrah grapes are lightly pre-fermented at a temperature below 10°C (50°F). Fermentation then continues for 10 to 15 days in stainless steel tanks, at a temperature not exceeding 28°C (82°F). The wine then continues to age in both American and French oak barrels until the end of the year. Just before bottling, the blend is made and then bottle-aged for approximately eight months in the estate's cellars.

A delicious Tuscan top wine for a festive dinner when you have plenty of time to enjoy its rich flavor, always receiving high praise from the international wine press, but this also comes from the Antinori family.

The Guado al Tasso estate is located in the small but prestigious Bolgheri appellation on the Tuscan coast, in the upper Maremma region, about 100 kilometers southwest of Florence. The region boasts a global reputation as a benchmark for international high-end wines such as Sassicaia, Ornellaia, and, of course, Guado al Tasso. Guado al Tasso's vineyards consist primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Vermentino grapes; the latter cultivated with both white and red varieties. They enjoy a mild climate thanks to the proximity of the Mediterranean Sea; the constant breezes soften the summer heat, and the harsh winter conditions cleanse the air and provide a high level of sunlight and radiation.

More information about Antinori

Marquis Piero Antinori is in charge and is assisted by his three daughters: Albiera, Allegra and Alessia. Funny those three A's. We are not going to bother you with all the awards that have been received over the years, because then this price list can no longer go through the letterbox. There are two red wines that are available on allocation and that one would like to get a few bottles from all over the world and that are Tignanello and Solaia and we also have these in our range at Grandcruwijnen.

In 1180, Ugo and Antinori di Rinuccino were officially named as owners of Castello di Combiate; a century later, the family who had moved to Florence were included in the register of the silk trade cooperative. In 1385, Giovanni di Piero, an indirect descendant, entered the wine guild as an apprentice. Since then, the wine-growing tradition of the Antinori family has been continuous. With the establishment of the Marchesi Antinori winery, the peak was reached in 1895 and already in 1898 the winery was built in San Casciano Val di Pesa, which is still the center of the widely branched group of properties in all major cultivation areas of Tuscany, Umbria. , Piemonte (since the early 90s through the purchase of the wine cellar Prunotto), Apulia and even California. The traditional house participating in the modern Tuscan wine-growing revolution owes much of its prestige to its former chief vinologist Giacomo Tachis, who produced exceptional wines such as Sassicaia, Tignanello (especially sangiovese), Solaia (especially cabernet) and many others. the other was responsible. Vinologist Renzo Cotarella also created one of the best chardonnays in Italy in the Umbrian Castello della Sala.
