| Description: | Piero Antinori, the guiding force behind the Antinori family's contemporary period and the family's most game-changing wines, took his time to release his first Super-Tuscan wine from his Guado al Tasso estate. Piero recognized the great potential of his lands located in the acclaimed Bolgheri Bowl, a natural amphitheater located about 60 miles southwest of Siena, that was drenched with sunlight during the day and cooled at night from sea breezes. Moreover, Guado al Tasso possessed clay-rich alluvial soils with very fine gravel, the distinctive feature that makes Bolgheri wines rich in minerality and lends them their characteristic terroir. While Antinori's Guado al Tasso had crafted world-famous rosé wines since the 1970s, and although the land's viticultural history stretches back to the seventeenth century, the estate's initial premiere red wine, Guado al Tasso, didn't come on the scene until 1994; however, this blockbuster Super Tuscan made up for lost time and quickly gained global recognition. Growing a selection of Bordeaux-style grape varietals as well as Vermentino, Guado Al Tasso crafts blockbuster reds — including the original flagship Guado al Tasso and the estate's rising star, the cult Cabernet Franc, Matarocchio. |
