This has a wild and perfumed nose of dried thyme, sage, blackberries, cocoa, graphite and white and green peppercorns. Then dried flowers. Full-bodied with firm, tight and precise tannins. Vibrant. There’s so much character and structure. A new benchmark for this winery. More cabernet franc than in the past. Best yet? 65% cabernet sauvignon, 25% cabernet franc and 10% merlot. Try from 2025.

I've been tracking the increasing percentage of Cabernet Franc in the blend of this iconic Tuscan wine. The 2019 Bolgheri Superiore Guado al Tasso is made with 25% Cabernet Franc, with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot. That this heat-resistant grape now makes up a quarter of the blend speaks to how vintners are gearing up to counter climate change. These are intelligent choices, and you can count on this wine to maintain that level of extreme elegance and intensity that it is known for (even when Merlot was a bigger part of the blend). Indeed, this is a new and improved Guado al Tasso with focused aromas of pencil shaving, white pepper and crushed stone that frame a rich core of black fruit. A fluttering of dried mint gives lift and power to the bouquet. This is a beautifully linear and powerful red blend.

Smooth and opulent, with black currant, blackberry and plum fruit accented by cedar, vanilla and iron notes. Dense and complex, yet accessible, this is balanced and persistent on the lingering aftertaste. Decant now or wait another year or two. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2024 through 2040.

Antinori - Tenuta Guado al Tasso
Situato sulla costa incontaminata della Toscana, ricca di biodiversità, Guado al Tasso è una delle stelle della DOC Bolgheri. Estendendosi per quattro chilometri lungo il Mar Tirreno, la tenuta si trova in Maremma, un'ora a sud della famosa città di Pisa. Questa è solo una delle tante tenute toscane prestigiose di proprietà dell'illustre famiglia Antinori, ma è anche la loro residenza estiva privata. Con oltre 600 ettari di terreno, la proprietà è suddivisa in vigneti e il contrasto unico tra spiagge e boschi mostra la fauna e la flora autoctone. La tenuta produce due bianchi meravigliosi, un rosé e vari rossi eccezionali. Per i rossi, Guado al Tasso si rifà a uno stile decisamente bordolese, usando barrique leggermente più grandi e meno rovere nuovo. Il simbolo di questa tenuta, il Guado al Tasso, esprime le caratteristiche potenti della Maremma superiore equilibrate dall'eleganza e dalla finezza complessive. Il secondo vino, Il Bruciato, condivide la stessa filosofia di eccellenza, proponendosi come un vino avvicinabile e leggermente speziato, con un finale fruttato lungo e piacevole.
