Guado Al Tasso 2000
Introduction
This red wine originates from Italy, produced in the Bolgheri Superiore subregion of Tuscany. The Tenuta Guado al Tasso estate is owned by the Marchesi Antinori family, who have shaped Italian winemaking for over six centuries. The vineyard is situated within a natural amphitheatre that faces the Tyrrhenian Sea, creating a unique microclimate with constant breezes that mitigate extreme temperatures. The estate's winemaking philosophy focuses on capturing the complexity and elegance of the Bolgheri terroir through meticulous grape selection and gravity-flow vinification.
Wine Description
The Guado al Tasso 2000 presents a dark blackish ruby colour. The nose is wide and expressive, offering high-toned aromas of blackberry, sandalwood, and clove alongside complex notes of tobacco and leather. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, delivering powerful flavours of plum confiture, crushed cherry, and roasted coffee bean. It features a thick, velvety texture and is well-balanced with enough acidity to ensure freshness, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish. This blend is composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 10% Syrah. The wine has an ABV of 13.5% and is reaching its peak of maturity, with an optimal drinking window extending until approximately 2030 in well-stored formats.
