The estate covers an area of over 1000 hectares (2500 acres); 320 (790 acres) of which are planted with vines and extends from the green hills surrounding the old village of Bolgheri down to the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1930’s, the Guado al Tasso property was inherited by Carlotta Della Gherardesca Antinori (Piero Antinori’s mother) and her sister who was married to Mario Incisa Della Rocchetta (who received the nearby Tenuta San Guido estate).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Vermentino grape varieties with the nearby sea providing a mild climate with constant breezes that mitigate summer heat and alleviate harsh winter weather. The region's alluvial soils, which vary from sandy-clay to silty-clay rich in agglomerate from Bolgheri (a very fine gravel), influence the character and personality of the varietals grown and give them a distinctive territorial identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bolgheri DOC started out as Rosé-only; white wines were permitted in 1984 and 10 years later the laws finally recognised the extraordinary success of the mould-breaking Cabernet based red wines. From 2007 Cabernet Franc has played a growing role, both as an exceptional blending component for Guado al Tasso and also as a limited edition single-varietal bottling called Matarocchio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eGUADO AL TASSO\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.antinori.it\/en\/tenuta\/estates-antinori\/guado-al-tasso-estate\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Antinori Website for Guado al Tasso\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/desktop_icon_cd1f9a91-a06b-4665-880d-cc47c0dde6d7_480x480.jpg?v=1588261941\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MarchesiAntinori\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Like Marchesi Antinori on Facebook\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/marchesiantinori\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Follow Marchesi Antinori on Instagram\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/antinorifamily\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Follow the Antinori Family on Twitter\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/twitter_icon_34f9bd96-ace0-4f23-b0ee-0e0d2f8cc379_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"guado-al-tasso-vermentino-di-bolgheri","title":"Guado al Tasso Vermentino di Bolgheri 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eInspiration for Guado al Tasso's Vermentino (first produced in 1996) was a desire to reintroduce one of the indigenous varieties from this part of the Tyrrhenian coast, recognised and appreciated for its aromatic qualities.

Crafted by the legendary Antinori family at their Tenuta Guado al Tasso estate, Il Bruciato offers an outstanding, accessible entry point into the famous Super Tuscan style. In the glass, it delivers a deep ruby colour and an inviting nose full of crushed dark cherry, ripe blackberry, and delicate hints of sweet spice. The magic of this wine lies in the blend. The Cabernet Sauvignon provides a firm, architectural backbone, while the Merlot adds a plush, generous texture, and the Syrah finishes with a touch of warming pepper. The tannins are incredibly smooth and welcoming, making it remarkably approachable in its youth without sacrificing any of its pedigree. This is a fantastic, heavyweight red to enjoy around the dining table. It has the depth and flavour intensity to sit perfectly alongside a slow-cooked beef ragù, or to take centre stage next to a traditional Sunday roast lamb.
