The Guado al Tasso 1999 is a beautifully evolved expression from a classic late-1990s vintage, now showing mature complexity and harmony. The nose reveals blackcurrant, dried plum, leather, cedar, and tobacco leaf, with tertiary notes of earth and subtle balsamic nuance. On the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, with tannins largely resolved into a smooth, integrated texture. Flavors of cassis, dark cherry, cocoa, and savory spice unfold gently, emphasizing balance over power. Freshness remains present, lending lift and composure despite its age. The finish is long, harmonious, and softly persistent—an elegant, mature Bolgheri Superiore that captures both Antinori precision and the warmth of its coastal terroir.

Tenuta Guado al Tasso is the Antinori family’s coastal estate in Bolgheri, located on the prestigious DOC Bolgheri Superiore. The vineyards sit on gravelly and sandy soils close to the Tyrrhenian Sea, benefiting from maritime breezes that moderate ripeness and preserve freshness. Guado al Tasso was instrumental in establishing Bolgheri’s global reputation for Bordeaux-inspired blends with Italian identity. The philosophy combines meticulous vineyard zoning, strict selection, and polished élevage to achieve balance and longevity. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot form the core of the blend, supported by Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot depending on the vintage. Over time, Guado al Tasso has become a benchmark for structured, age-worthy Super Tuscans.
