Bolgheri's coastal Tuscan terroir—Cabernet-led blend from Antinori's flagship estate on marine clay and limestone.
Guado al Tasso anchors Antinori's Bolgheri portfolio on a south-facing amphitheater of marine clay and limestone soils at 80–120 meters elevation, where Atlantic winds moderate the Mediterranean heat and extend ripening into October. The Cabernet
Sauvignon-dominant blend (70–80%) ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel before 18–20 months in French oak (60% new), with Merlot and Cabernet Franc adding mid-palate texture.
The wine's signature tension—a hallmark of Bolgheri's cooler coastal microclimate—emerges from the interplay of ripe fruit against structured tannin and mineral acidity driven by the site's limestone subsoil. Antinori's commitment to extended aging in bottle (minimum 3 years pre-release) ensures the wine arrives drinking well but capable of 15+ years evolution.
Vintage-dependent; recent releases show the precision and restraint that distinguish Bolgheri from warmer Tuscan zones.
Sommelier’s pick: Bistecca alla fiorentina (charred Chianina beef with sea salt) · Brasato di manzo (slow-braised beef with tomato and rosemary) · Cinghiale in umido (wild boar ragù with pappardelle)
