This aristocratic wine, produced by the respected Antinori estate, flourishes in the unique terroir and climate, resulting in a truly remarkable tipple perfect for special occasions and fine dining.

Tasting Notes

Guado al Tasso 2018 is an intense ruby red color. The nose opens with captivating notes of sweet spices and small dark ripe fruit, licorice root, leather and tobacco. On the palate the tannins are graceful: silky on entry and vibrant on the finish. Guado al Tasso 2018 is harmonious with excellent balance and pleasantness, it’s most certainly less powerful than the 2017 vintage, but perhaps for this reason is more refined and elegant.
