2021 Marchesi Antinori Tenuta Guado al Tasso Il Bruciato Bolgheri

About the Wine

The Antinori family has been committed to the art of winemaking for over six centuries since 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member, of the “Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri”, the Florentine Winemakers’ Guild. 

"We have demonstrated, over the years, that in Tuscany and in Umbria there was the possibility of producing excellent wines, widely recognized at an international level, which showed both elegance and finesse while maintaining their original character," says Piero Antinori.

Il Bruciato is one of the best value wines from the Antinori family. It comes from the prestigious Bolgheri DOC, an appellation located on the coast of upper Maremma. Tenuta Guado is placed in a beautiful terroir of alluvial origin, with soils composed of sand and clay, and very fine gravel called scheletro (also known as agglomerate from Bolgheri).

Tenuta Guado al Tasso comprises more than 2,400 acres of vineyards planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cab Franc and petit Verdot. This wine paradise delivers extremely exceptional wines like Il Bruciato, a label that was born in 2002, in what was the most difficult year of the Tenuta. For this wine, they carefully select the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah to create this blend that expresses the magic of the terroir. This is a wine for true wine lovers.

Renzo Cotarella and Marco Ferrarese kead the oenology team. 

Tasting Notes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah. Deep and intense ruby ​​red color. Notes of small ripe red fruits, sweet spices and tobacco stand out on the nose. On the palate it is well structured, enveloping and with a pleasant fruity aftertaste that gives it a pleasant drinkability and persistence.
