Bolgheri Vermentino Tenuta Guado al Tasso - Antinori 2023

Tenuta Guado al Tasso's Bolgheri Vermentino from Antinori is a fruity and savoury white wine that comes from a denomination that is world-famous for great reds made from the famous Bordeaux grape varieties. In fact, Vermentino has always lived in these lands. From the Colli di Luni to the Maremma, the entire Tuscan coast is well suited for the cultivation of this variety with its Mediterranean profile. Antinori proposes an interpretation of it with a typically territorial, sunny and marine face, which is very well suited to seafood cuisine.

Antinori's Vermentino Bolgheri comes from the Tuscan estate of Guado al Tasso. The property is located in the Upper Maremma, in a splendid coastal area surrounded by the gentle hills of the Bolgheri amphitheatre, which protect the area from north-easterly winds. The climate is temperate, mild and always very breezy due to the constant presence of sea breezes. The sunny exposures of the vineyards favour perfect ripening of the grapes with particularly rich aromatic profiles. The soils are alluvial in nature, with a predominantly loamy-sandy composition. The Vermentino grapes come from various vineyards on the estate and on arrival at the winery are gently crushed and vinified separately for each parcel. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of approximately 16 °C. The best batches are then blended and matured for a few months in steel before bottling.

The Bolgheri Vermentino wine produced at Antinori's Guado al Tasso estate is a young, fresh version of the most typical white wine of the Tuscan coast. A label with a classic profile that brings out the best qualities of a grape variety that expresses itself best in sunny and windy coastal areas. To the eye, it is a clear, bright straw yellow colour. The nose is elegant and intense, with aromas of white flowers, aromatic herbs of the Mediterranean maquis, citrus peel and fragrant white-fleshed fruit. Flowing and fruity, it offers a savoury sip with pleasantly rich and expressive fruit, with a fresh, harmonious and mineral finish.
