Tasting Notes

"From a warm and sunny vintage that produced darkly concentrated fruit, the Tenuta Guado al Tasso 2017 Bolgheri Superiore Guado al Tasso is a teaser and a super pleaser. This is one flashy wine. This carefully calculated blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc and 15% Merlot pours from the bottle with a beautifully saturated and rich color. I double-decanted my sample before writing this review, and the wine's aromas showed immediate harmony and intensity. The wine seduces and flirts with all your senses. This vintage caps many years of study regarding blending: The Merlot is slightly decreased here, and the Cabernet Franc is slowly taking on a more important supporting role. The Petit Verdot that was used as a peppery accent two years ago has now been removed altogether. The results are pliant, seamless and fluid, and that's the big takeaway here. The wine is bountiful, round, supple and full-bodied. Unless you are decidedly not a fan of this style, there's nothing not to love. I had anticipated more tightness in terms of possible hot-vintage tannins, but I am very pleased by the general integration of the mouthfeel."

The Producer

Antinori

Antinori, one of Italy's most renowned wine producers, has a rich history dating back over 600 years. The winery is owned and operated by the Antinori family, with Marchese Piero Antinori leading the business since 1966. Chief Winemaker Renzo Cotarella has been at the helm of winemaking since 1995, bringing with him over 40 years of experience.

Located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, Antinori's vineyards benefit from the region's unique terroir, characterized by its hilly landscape and well-draining soils. The winery also owns estates across Tuscany and Umbria, each producing wines that reflect their distinct terroirs.

Antinori has received numerous awards and accolades over the years, including Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year award in 2011 for their Tignanello wine. The winery is also recognized for its sustainable winemaking practices, including the use of renewable energy sources and organic farming methods.

One interesting detail about Antinori is their extensive collection of aging wines, with some bottles dating back to the early 20th century. The winery also produces a wide range of wines, from classic Chianti to more experimental blends, and remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of winemaking and producing some of the world's finest wines.
