Guado al Tasso 1997 - Marchesi Antinori

Tasting notes

"Deep crimson but with a clear rim. Smells definitively Tuscan rather than anything like Bordeaux. Ripe and dense but with a vegy overlay. Prune flavours; if someone told me this had Sangiovese in it I wouldn’t be surprised (my reaction, admittedly, when I have tasted Antinori’s Col Solare in Washington state). Chewy and very dry. Very competent but not especially charming. "

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Marchesi Antinori is one of Italy's most prestigious wine estates, founded in 1385. Renowned worldwide, it is particularly famous for its flagship wines: Tignanello, Solaia, and Guado al Tasso.

Tignanello is a groundbreaking wine from Tuscany, made from a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. It was the first wine in the region to use non-traditional varieties and the first Sangiovese to be aged in barriques, giving it exceptional depth and complexity.

Solaia, produced only in great vintages, is a prestigious wine made from the finest Tignanello vineyards. It is predominantly made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, cultivated in a unique terroir at high altitudes with calcareous and clay soils, resulting in a wine of exceptional richness and structure.

Guado al Tasso, first produced in 1990, represents Antinori's innovation in the Bolgheri wine region. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc highlights the diversity of the Bolgheri terroir with its complex aromas and elegant character.

The best vintages of these wines are from 2010, 2009, 1997, and 1985, particularly sought after for their quality and exceptional aging potential.

Marchesi Antinori continues to shape the history of winemaking with wines of great distinction, and these wines remain essential for collectors and enthusiasts.
