Antinori Tenuta Guado al Tasso Il Bruciato Bolgheri

About This Wine

The Guado al Tasso estate is located in the prestigious Bolgheri DOC, part of the Tuscan coastal area of Maremma, known for its untamed landscape and unspoiled beauty. Il Bruciato was first produced in 2002 at the famed Guado al Tasso estate. The name Il Bruciato means “burned.” This wine is named after a wooded area on the Guado al Tasso estate that was destroyed by a famous fire in the early 1900s. Guado al Tasso, meaning “Badger’s Ford,” takes its name from a common sight at Tenuta Guado al Tasso, Bolgheri, where it is produced.The wine is a modern interpretation of Bolgheri’s unique terroir made from carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah grapes from Guado al Tasso’s vineyards. The geological composition of the soil is diversified giving the wine structure and complexity. For more than 630 years − spanning 26 generations − the Antinori family has produced exceptional wines that celebrate its Tuscan and Umbrian roots. Antinori wines proudly honor Italian winemaking traditions, but also reflect the family’s relentless push to innovate and experiment. No other family of winemakers has achieved such consistent excellence.
