Antinori Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore 2020 combines the maritime flair of the Tuscan coast with the classic winemaking expertise of the Antinori family. As the flagship of the Bolgheri region, this wine embodies the unique character of an estate that harmoniously blends terroir and craftsmanship. The 2020 vintage demonstrates depth, concentration, and a delicate spiciness; fruit notes of blackcurrants and ripe plums are complemented by mineral nuances and a crisp, elegant structure. Here, the Antinori tradition meets modern, precise vinification, making Guado al Tasso a benchmark wine worldwide.
Tasting note: The nose reveals dark fruits, cocoa, espresso, and a subtle herbal note; in the background, a salty freshness typical of Bolgheri. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet always controlled; polished tannins, good substance, lively acidity, and refined spice. The overall impression is reminiscent of a Bordeaux-inspired structure, complemented by Tuscan warmth. The quality of the 2020 vintage shows great aging potential that will continue to develop over the years, culminating in a long, complex finish.
The optimal drinking window is expected to be reached from 2025 onwards, with potential until around 2035 and beyond, provided the wine is stored appropriately. Food pairing: Grilled ribeye steak, rack of lamb, or mature Pecorino Toscano make elegant accompaniments; also harmonious with dark chocolate if you wish to bring the evening to a perfect close.
