2020 | Tenuta Guado al Tasso | Il Bruciato Bolgheri DOC

Il Bruciato 2020 is an intense ruby red color. Its nose is intense and enticing with notes of currants, blackberries, delicate hints of vanilla and sweet spices. Excellent harmony on the palate where a fruity finish dominates and imparts good persistence and easy drinkability.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: This accessible blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah offers tight mineral notes, toasted spice, almond and lots of dark, luscious fruit. To the palate, the wine exhibits softly caressing tannin.

• James Suckling: Aromas of sage and currants with blackberries follow through to a full body with intense,round tannins that are nicely crafted. Fresh, flavorful finish.

Producer Information

Tenuta Guado al Tasso is a Tuscan wine estate located on rolling hills near the coast in the Bolgheri amphitheater. It is a part of the Marchesi Antinori group, and is known for its wines made predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, rather than the region's famous Sangiovese grape. There are 300 hectares (750 acres) planted with vines on the property. The proximity to the coast provides the vineyards with plentiful sea breezes which moderate the warm, sunny climate, while at the same time minimizing cloud cover. This means that the grapes can reach full ripeness while retaining acidity, which is essential to make a complex, balanced wine. There is a diverse range of soil types, and a correspondingly diverse range of grape varieties – along with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah, Guado al Tasso also makes a white wine based on Vermentino. Former owners, the della Gherardesca family, began wine production on the estate as early as the second half of the 17th Century. In the 1930s the property came under the control of the Antinori family through marriage.
