Deep ruby in colour with crushed sour cherry, rosemary and cinnamon. A hint of minerality. Full body, high tannins, high acidity. Consistency wins over anything else; there is Tuscany in the dried herbs, there is Bordeaux...

The Guado al Tasso estate takes its name from timid badgers (“tasso” in Italian), inhabitants of the region which are sometimes spotted crossing fords (“guado” in Italian) in the streams. The flagship wine of the estate is a Bordeaux blend, typically 50-60% Cabernet, expressing both the strength and suppleness of this corner of the upper Maremma. This release has contributed to the elevation of the Bolgheri region to become one of the most important areas of European viticulture, expressing the decisively Mediterranean characteristics of power, elegance, and balance.
