The 2023 Antinori, Guado al Tasso Vermentino Bolgheri was a Merchant's Pick
Not A Drop Left! • Antinori's Prized Tuscan White
August 28, 2024
Antinori is famous for its world-class Super Tuscans: Tignanello, Guado al Tasso, and Solaia.
If you thought Antinori made exceptional Super Tuscan reds wait until you try their Vermentino. This limited, under-the-radar white is a summertime sensation that got snatched up when we featured it last year.
The Guado al Tasso estate is near the Maremma coast in Tuscany; proximity to the sea gives this Tuscan white its pronounced vibrancy and freshness.
Full of verve, this beauty threads the needle between the best attributes of a Chablis and Sancerre. Bolgheri’s microclimate is particularly favorable for Vermentino to thrive. Citrus notes, minerals, and lemon-lime are reminiscent of Sancerre. Fresh, well-balanced, and persistent, there is a stone, mineral finish found in Chablis. White peach, floral accents, and fresh herbs add additional layers making it a unique white found only in Bolgheri.
A piece of fish or your favorite pasta tossed in garlic and olive oil is all you will need for this versatile white.
A seasonal salad with a side of grilled bread (to dip in olive oil, of course) is another way to enjoy this Bolgheri beauty.
After sipping and swirling a few times, you will look down and realize there's not a drop left!
While supplies last.
Enjoy!
