Il Bruciato 2020

Product description

Tenuta Guado al Tasso, part of the esteemed Antinori family estates, is situated in the Bolgheri region of Tuscany, Italy. Spanning approximately 320 hectares, the estate benefits from a unique microclimate influenced by its proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea, fostering the cultivation of high-quality grape varieties. 

The 2020 Il Bruciato is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 15% Syrah. This vintage presents an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of currants and blackberries, complemented by delicate hints of vanilla and sweet spices. The palate is harmonious, dominated by a fruity finish that imparts good persistence and easy drinkability. 

Optimal Drinking Window: The 2020 Il Bruciato is approachable upon release and can be enjoyed over the next 5-7 years, allowing its flavors to develop further with short-term cellaring.

Food Pairing Suggestions: This wine pairs well with grilled meats, pasta dishes with rich tomato-based sauces, and aged cheeses, enhancing the wine's depth and complexity.

93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate  

I tasted the Guado al Tasso 2020 Bolgheri Rosso Il Bruciato from barrel, but the wine will hit the market in September of this year. Compared to the previous vintage, this edition is richer and slightly denser with nicely concentrated fruit. That extra textural support is a characteristic of this fortunate vintage. This accessible blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah offers tight mineral notes, toasted spice, almond and lots of dark, luscious fruit. To the palate, the wine exhibits softly caressing tannins.
