Guado Al Tasso - Bolgheri Superiore DOC - Red - 2020

Wine:

The 2020 Bolgheri Superiore is an exceptional blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with a special addition of Cabernet Franc in this vintage (due to the absence of the Matarocchio cuvée). This results in a wine of remarkable complexity, where subtlety and finesse take center stage over sheer concentration. Lovers of elegance will find plenty to appreciate here. This cooler vintage brings a more refined expression of Bolgheri, allowing the full spectrum of its nuances to shine—dark fruit, spices, and that signature Antinori intensity. The wine is underpinned by a striking freshness that promises immense aging potential. A landmark cuvée, rated 96/100 by Parker.
