Part of the Marchesi Antinori group since the 1930s, the Guado al Tasso estate is situated in the small yet prestigious Bolgheri DOC, along the upper Maremma coastline. The DOC Bolgheri achieved official recognition in 1995 and has since become a globally acknowledged benchmark in the Italian and international markets. Guado Al Tasso`s flagship wine typically consists of a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and occasionally a dash of Petit Verdot. The 2017 Guado Al Tasso presents a vibrant nose with subtle suggestions of small, ripe red fruits like raspberries, wild strawberries, arbutus, wild blackberries, complemented by undertones of laurel and mint. On the palate, the wine has a full-bodied character, showcasing persistent flavours. The tannins are both dense and velvety in texture. While this wine is ready for immediate enjoyment, it also has plenty of ageing potential.

The 2017 Bolgheri Superiore Guado al Tasso is layered with red cherry, plum, licorice and dried flower notes. There is plenty of energy and tension. It will be interesting to see if the tannins soften a bit. Today, the 2017 is a bit assertive, but that may soften in time. We will see. Antonio Galloni1st March 2020

An Antinori Icon

While technically a wine rather than a winery, Marchesi Antinori's flagship red wine, Supertuscan Tignanello, has become an icon in its own right. Produced from the Tignanello estate, this wine is one of Italy’s most recognized and celebrated fine wines. Tignanello is a blend of mostly Sangiovese wines with lesser parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, showcasing the Antinori family's mastery in winemaking.

Situated in the heart of Chianti Classico, in the gently rolling hillsides between the Greve and Pesa river valleys, the Tenuta Tignanello vineyard produces these influential wines. Tignanello was the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, the first contemporary red wine blended with untraditional varieties (specifically Cabernet), and one of the first red wines in the Chianti Classico region not to use white grapes. This innovation has made it a modern red wine that stands out among its peers.

The Antinori estate also produces a superb Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon Grappa, a full-bodied Bordeaux-style red called Guado al Tasso, and delicate yet refined white wines from Castello della Sala, adding to its portfolio of iconic wines. The legacy of the Antinori family is evident in every bottle of these exceptional Italian wines.
