ANTINORI – GUADO AL TASSO 2022
Bolgheri Superiore DOC, Tuscany, Italy
From the historic Marchesi Antinori, Guado al Tasso 2022 is a flagship Bolgheri blend that captures the estate’s signature balance of Mediterranean richness, structure, and finesse.
Tasting notes
Deep ruby in the glass with expressive aromas of blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, and dark cherry, layered with violet, graphite, cedar, and sweet spice. The palate is full-bodied yet remarkably polished, offering concentrated dark fruit, fine-grained tannins, and a long, elegant finish with hints of cocoa and balsamic freshness.
Blend & winemaking
Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot
Estate-grown fruit from Bolgheri’s coastal vineyards
Aged in French oak for structure, depth, and harmony
Food pairing
Outstanding with grilled or roasted beef, lamb, game dishes, rich pasta, or aged hard cheeses.
Drinking window
Approachable with decanting, yet built to age gracefully for 15–20+ years, gaining complexity and refinement over time.
If you’d like, I can tailor this into a wine-list description, collector-facing note, or pairing recommendation for a specific menu or event.
