Guado al Tasso Il Bruciato, Bolgheri (2022)
The 2022 Vintage
The prestigious Guado al Tasso estate is a cornerstone of the Bolgheri revolution, spearheaded by the legendary Antinori family. Il Bruciato serves as the ultimate introduction to this world-class coastal terroir, delivering the aristocratic pedigree of a Super Tuscan with an immediate, modern energy.
The winemaking perfectly balances the intense Mediterranean sunshine with the cooling maritime breezes of the Tuscan coast. The blend - typically Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah—is fermented in temperature-controlled tanks before a measured maturation in French oak barriques. This precise handling polishes the robust tannins and integrates the diverse varietal characteristics without ever masking the vibrant, sun-drenched fruit.
Pouring this bottle provides an effortless touch of Italian luxury. It delivers a striking profile of ripe blackberry, dark cherry, and sweet spice, underpinned by a distinct roasted coffee and balsamic complexity. It is a highly intelligent, intensely satisfying red that effortlessly elevates a rich beef ragù or a weekend roast lamb.
