Antinori's Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore was born from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (62%), Cabernet Franc (18%), Merlot (18%) and Petit Verdot (2%) grapes grown within the Guado al Tasso estate , in the heart of the Bolgheri DOC, one of the most suitable areas in the world for excellent viticulture. Here the soils are alluvial - clay-sandy and clay-silty - and the vineyards rise 50 meters above sea level, at the foot of the so-called Bolgheri Amphitheater formed by gentle hills overlooking the sea. Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore is a prestigious red, the true flagship of the Antinori winery: for its production the vineyards were divided into individual harvest plots depending on the climatic trend of the year and the grapes were vinified separately . The alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 15°C-20°C. Once assembled, the wine rested for approximately 18 months in new French oak barriques before being marketed.
