Product Notes

Antinori Tenuta Guado Al Tasso Superiore wine is an exquisite blend displaying the sophistication and piquant flavour-profile of Italian wines. Produced in the esteemed Bolgheri region, it boasts a velvety texture, luscious spicy notes and a rich, harmonious body. Deep, tantalising hues and a complex bouquet, featuring notes of ripe black fruit, vanilla and liquorice, envelop the senses. Its structure harmonises concentrated tannins with bright acidity, culminating in a lengthy, satisfying finish. This premium Tuscan wine provides the perfect complement to robust meat dishes and mature cheeses, personifying the elegant balance of traditional craftsmanship and innovative winemaking.

Tasting Notes

Guado al Tasso 2018 is an intense ruby red color. The nose opens with captivating notes of sweet spices and small dark ripe fruit, licorice root, leather and tobacco. On the palate the tannins are graceful: silky on entry and vibrant on the finish. Guado al Tasso 2018 is harmonious with excellent balance and pleasantness, it’s most certainly less powerful than the 2017 vintage, but perhaps for this reason is more refined and elegant.
