Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2000 - Guado al Tasso

The Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore DOC from Tenuta Guado al Tasso is the flagship of the Bolgheri estate of the legendary Antinori family. This unique red wine offers nuances of ripe red and black berries and dark chocolate, complemented by spicy roasted aromas and aromatic Arabica coffee. On the palate, it is complex and balanced, elegant and linear, with an excellent structure and soft tannins. The very long finish is in harmony with the aromas and gives an enjoyable persistent aftertaste.

Vinification of Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore DOC from Guado al Tasso

For this Bolgheri Superiore, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, sometimes a little Petit Verdot, are vinified in a cuvée. This award-winning and renowned terroir wine from Tenuta Guado al Tasso has been produced since 1990.

The grapes are carefully harvested by hand, destemmed in the cellar and selected before being pressed separately according to grape variety. The alcoholic fermentation and maceration of the individual varieties takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature for a period of 15 to 20 days. During this time, the skinned cap is lifted and the wine is oxygenated, depending on the needs of the individual grape varieties. After the skins have been removed, the wines are transferred to new barriques, where malolactic fermentation takes place by the end of the year, followed by 18 months of ageing. After careful control of each barrique, the cuvée of the wines is made and the Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore is bottled, where it matures for a further 10 months before being sold.
