About Tenuta Guado al Tasso
Tenuta Guado al Tasso is a distinguished wine estate located in the Bolgheri DOC region of Tuscany, Italy. Spanning over 320 hectares of vineyards, the estate is part of the historic Antinori family holdings, whose winemaking legacy stretches back over six centuries. The estate sits in the coastal Maremma area, a unique location often referred to as the "Bolgheri amphitheater" due to its gently rolling hills that slope down towards the Tyrrhenian Sea. This distinctive terroir benefits from a Mediterranean climate, marked by cooling sea breezes and significant temperature variations between day and night, fostering optimal grape ripening and aromatic complexity.
The vineyards of Tenuta Guado al Tasso are planted primarily with Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, alongside traditional Tuscan grapes like Sangiovese and Vermentino.

This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, and it is known for its elegance, depth, and complexity, offering layers of dark fruit, spice, and refined tannins. Other notable wines include Il Bruciato, a more approachable Bolgheri Rosso that highlights the region’s vibrancy and drinkability, and Vermentino Bolgheri DOC, a crisp, aromatic white wine reflecting the estate’s proximity to the sea.
The estate’s cellar is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, allowing precise vinification and aging in both French oak barriques and larger casks. Each parcel of vineyard is harvested and vinified separately to capture the nuances of each site, a process overseen by a dedicated winemaking team that blends tradition with innovation.
