Guado Al Tasso Bolgheri Denominazione Di Origine Controllata Superiore

2009 Bolgheri Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot

Guado Al Tasso Bolgheri Denominazione Di Origine Controllata Superiore from the 2009 vintage is an exquisite red wine that embodies the essence of the Bolgheri region. This full-bodied blend, crafted from a harmonious combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, showcases a deep, garnet color that catches the eye. The wine presents a high acidity that invites a refreshing lift, balancing its richness beautifully. A prominent fruit intensity reveals lush notes of dark berries and plum, while subtle undertones of spice and herbal nuances add complexity to the palate. Its tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure without overwhelming the other elements. This dry wine is a true testament to the artistry of Bolgheri winemaking, offering a delightful experience that is both approachable and sophisticated, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes or a cozy evening.

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.
