Bolgheri DOC

Vermentino Bolgheri Guado al Tasso: the marine soul of Tuscany

Imagine yourself on the Tuscan coast, the sun caressing your skin and the sea breeze in your hair. That is exactly the emotion I feel when tasting this Vermentino Bolgheri from Tenuta Guado al Tasso, a wine that elegantly captures the essence of its maritime terroir.

Guado al Tasso: the Antinori imprint on the Bolgheri coast

This wine comes from the Tenuta Guado al Tasso, property of the Marchesi Antinori, a name that resonates with Tuscan wine history and excellence. We are in Bolgheri, in the Alta Maremma, a coastal region where Vermentino finds a particular expression. This grape variety, Vermentino, is cultivated here with care, taking advantage of the unique microclimate of this area.

At first glance, its color seduces you with its clarity. On the nose, you discover a delicate bouquet of white flowers and white peaches, paired with notes of ripe citrus, citron, and a discreet herbaceous touch of sage and thyme. On the palate, the structure is slender yet enveloping, offering a balanced freshness. You perceive distinct mineral returns, recalling the proximity of the sea, and a light sapid impression that prolongs the pleasure up to a clean and persistent finish. The vinification, with fermentation in steel tanks at 16°C after destemming and pressing, followed by aging in the same tanks, preserves all the liveliness and purity of the fruit of this 2024 vintage.

Mediterranean pairings for a summer tasting

This Vermentino is an invitation to the table, especially if you love marine flavors. It naturally pairs with fish, seafood, and the simple dishes of Mediterranean cuisine. Think of raw antipasti, seafood salads, or light pasta dishes. I recommend serving it chilled, in wide glasses, to fully appreciate its aromas and liveliness. It is a wine to be enjoyed young to savor all its fruity freshness and characteristic minerality, a true liquid ray of sunshine that will transport you directly to the Tuscan coasts.
