Guado Al Tasso

The Antinori family who maintained winemaking traditions for more than 600 years identified the potential of the Tuscan coast before Bolgheri became known for its exceptional Bordeaux blends. The Antinori family built Tenuta Guado al Tasso in the Bolgheri amphitheater near the Tyrrhenian Sea during the 1990s. A true pioneer in the area. The estate covers 300 hectares of vineyards across alluvial and gravelly soils which have demonstrated exceptional compatibility with Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot and Cabernet Franc grape varieties. The first vintage of Guado al Tasso appeared in 1994 to establish itself as a reference point for Bolgheri Superiore. The wine name "badger's ford" honors the local wildlife while strengthening the estate's connection to its territory. Some people might claim that this Super Tuscan surpasses Tignanello in quality. The wine is perfect for anyone who enjoys Tignanello or Super Tuscan wines in general. Our price of this wine is lower (half the cost actually) than Sassicaia and Ornellaia but it provides the same quality level. This is the Antinori hidden secret.

Deep, dark rich ruby with a black core. Concentrated and intense aromas of blackberries, plums and blackcurrants with hints of tar and tobacco. Polished and extremely elegant on the palate, with many layers of fine tannins and a firmness on the finish.
