Guado al Tasso, produced by the prestigious Tenuta Guado al Tasso, owned by the Antinori family, represents an enological excellence of the Maremma Toscana. This red wine of great structure and complexity is born from a wise selection of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, grown in a terroir particularly suited to the production of high-quality red wines. The grapes, hand-picked at the right degree of ripeness, are vinified separately by variety. Subsequently, the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, in order to preserve the aromatic and fruity integrity. The refinement, of fundamental importance for the expression of the potential of this wine, takes place for about two years in French oak barriques, of first and second passage. This long period in wood allows the wine to acquire aromatic complexity, tannic structure and greater elegance.

To the eye, Guado al Tasso presents itself with an intense ruby ​​red color, with garnet reflections. On the nose, the bouquet is broad and complex, characterized by intense notes of black berry fruit, such as blueberries and blackberries, enriched by nuances of small red fruits, sweet spices (vanilla, cinnamon), licorice, bitter cocoa and balsamic touches. On the palate, the attack is enveloping and silky, with powerful but well-integrated tannins, which give the wine a solid and persistent structure. The mouth is broad and persistent, with a perfect balance between fruit, spices and wood. The finish is long and persistent, with returns of red fruit and mineral notes. Guado al Tasso is a wine of great versatility, able to accompany important and complex dishes. It pairs perfectly with grilled or stewed red meats, game, mature cheeses and truffle-based dishes.
