Tasting notes

The Marchesi Antinori 2021 Bolgheri Superiore Guado al Tasso is 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 29% Cabernet Franc from a hot year that also benefited from better underground water reserves because 2020 actually saw quite a bit of rain in Bolgheri and that moisture carried over. This wine is all forward thrust as a result, with a determined mouthfeel pushed over the palate thanks to plummy fruit, baked blackberry and sweet spice. The wine gracefully adds a spot of much-needed minerality that adds to the sensations of freshness. There is even some mint that livens up the mouthfeel.

About this wine

Guado al Tasso is a renowned producer of Bolgheri Superiore wines, located in the heart of the Bolgheri DOC in Tuscany, Italy. With a history dating back to the 14th century, the estate was acquired by the Antinori family in 1999 and has since been producing exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region. The Bolgheri Superiore is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, carefully selected and hand-harvested before being aged in French oak barrels for 14-18 months. The resulting wine is a deep ruby red with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and vanilla, full-bodied with firm tannins and a long, complex finish.

Guado al Tasso also produces a range of other wines, including Vermentino, a white wine made from the Vermentino grape, and Il Bruciato, a red wine made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. These wines are also of exceptional quality and reflect the unique terroir of the Bolgheri region.

Overall, Guado al Tasso is a producer of exceptional Bolgheri Superiore wines that are highly sought after by wine enthusiasts around the world. Their commitment to quality and tradition, combined with their innovative approach to winemaking, has earned them a well-deserved reputation as one of the top producers in Tuscany.
