Antinori Guado al Tasso 2005
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Region: Toscana
The 2005 Guado al Tasso transforms its initially gentle aromatics into an intense and highly concentrated perfume of berry and anise. The palate juxtaposes that verbose articulation with a finessed delivery of high-toned currant fruit, herbal notes, and minerality. Darker fruit exhibit notes of toast, coffee and mineral. Solid structure with super-fine tannins complete an ideal balance on the palate.
About the Producer
While deeply ensconced in the rebellious tradition of Super-Tuscan wines, Guado al Tasso’s Marchese Piero Antinori stands in opposition to most Super-Tuscan winemakers. In contradiction to those producers who looked to French techniques, Antinori believes that to imitate a Bordeaux wine is wrong; rather, he wants to make great wines by using Italian tradition to shape both indigenous and international varietals. With the guidance of legendary enologist Giacomo Tachis, Antinori introduced Tignanello in 1971, Solaia in 1978, and Guado al Tasso in 1990. Located in the Bolgheri zone, the Guado al Tasso estate, or “Badger’s Ford,” dates back to 1385 when Antinori’s ancestors joined the Florentine Guild of Vintners. Twenty-six generations later Antinori has acquired and developed estates in Toscana’s finest and most progressive viticultural areas of Montalcino, Chianti Classico, and Montepulciano, and beyond, all of which work in concert to produce some of the best-loved Italian wines. |
