Bolgheri Rosso Guado al Tasso, produced by the Antinori family, is a structured red wine made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The grapes are vinified separately and aged for 12 months in French oak barriques, followed by another 6 months of bottle aging. This process gives the wine complexity, balance and great aging potential.
It has a deep ruby red color. On the nose it offers a complex bouquet of bay leaves, tobacco, leather, roasted coffee and ripe fruit. On the palate it is dry, warm, soft, fresh, tannic and savoury, with a fleshy, silky and noble structure.
Bolgheri Rosso Guado al Tasso pairs perfectly with grilled or stewed red meats, braised meats, succulent roasts, aged cheeses, and traditional Tuscan dishes like Florentine steak. It is ideal for elegant dinners, formal events, celebrations and collectors due to its aging potential.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16/18°C.
