Il Guado

2006 Bolgheri 80% Cabernet, 20% Merlot

Poggio Alle Querce Il Guado, a captivating red wine from the renowned Bolgheri region, elegantly showcases the artful blend of eighty percent Cabernet and twenty percent Merlot. This wine enchants the senses with its deep ruby hue, inviting you to savor its rich bouquet of dark fruit, complemented by nuanced hints of tobacco and delicate spice. With a medium body that balances perfectly with its lively acidity, it provides a refreshing mouthfeel, making it as delightful on its own as it is with flavorful dishes. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, adding structure without overwhelming the palate. This wine is beautifully dry, allowing the fruit's character to shine through while maintaining a sophisticated complexity that speaks to its vintage. A wonderful representation of Bolgheri's terroir, Poggio Alle Querce Il Guado is a true testament to the quality of Italian winemaking.

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.
