Antinori Tenuta Guado Al Tasso Il Bruciato is a bright red wine with a complex bouquet of berries, spices, wood, and vanilla. It is a blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and syrah grapes grown in the Guado al Tasso estate's vineyards in Bolgheri, Tuscany. The wine is medium-bodied, smooth, and well-balanced, with a persistent finish. It pairs well with grilled meats, pasta with tomato-based sauces, and aged cheeses. This wine is perfect for those seeking a wine with personality but suitable for everyday drinking. The Antinori family has been producing wines for over six centuries and is known worldwide for its innovative winemaking techniques and elegant wines.

Tasting Notes

Il Bruciato shows an intense ruby red color. The nose presents the notes of red and black berry fruit which are characteristic of this vintage and capable of giving the wine an excellent concentration. Sweet spices and a hint of liquorice complete the bouquet. The palate is well structured, persistent, and highly pleasurable in its fruity ﬁnish and aftertaste.

About the Winery

The Antinori family is one of the most authentic and historical names of the Italian wine industry. This family has been making elegant and heritage-rich wines for over six centuries now. Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member of the Florentine Winemakers’ Guild in 1385, and his family has been making beautiful wines, since then.
