Antinori

1997 Bolgheri Red Blend

Guado Al Tasso Antinori is an exquisite red blend from the esteemed Bolgheri region, perfectly illustrating the area’s ability to produce wines of remarkable character and elegance. This vintage showcases a full-bodied profile, with high acidity that brings a lively and mouthwatering freshness to each sip. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of dark fruit flavors complemented by subtle spice and herbal notes. Tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing a structured backbone that enhances the wine's depth without overshadowing its rich complexity. The overall experience is dry, leaving a refined and satisfying finish that lingers gracefully on the palate, embodying the essence of Bolgheri's terroir and the craftsmanship of Antinori.

Italy's rich food and wine heritage is nowhere better demonstrated than historic Tuscany. You can eat and drink like a king here—ideally on a grand terrazza overlooking medieval hillsides strewn with olive and cypress trees. From mouthwatering whites for sipping with antipasti, to sophisticated reds that elevate the meat dishes of Florence (and of course leaving room for sweet Vin Santo with dessert), Tuscany has it all. Sangiovese is the region's star grape, giving us not just Chianti, but also Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and the epic Super Tuscan blends.
