The 2022 Antinori Guado al Tasso "Il Bruciato" Tuscany was a Merchant's Pick

Hands down one of the best Italian wines I've ever had! An Antinori all-star!

March 26, 2024

A Culinary Chameleon - Antinori is known for its iconic and coveted Super Tuscans:  Tignanello, Guado al Tasso, and Solaia.  

Antinori was one of the pioneers in  Bolgheri where Super Tuscans produce exotic red blends like no other region in Italy.

Antinori's Il Bruciato (the 2nd wine of flagship Guado al Tasso), is one of the best wines I have ever enjoyed for under $50.  It consistently ranks among the best value Italian reds with Monica Lerner having called it "absolutely one of the best value wines you will find in Italy." 

Dark berries are first on the nose, followed by savory undertones and a stony saltiness. Berries carry over to the palate, while undertones shift sweeter and more citrusy, before a spicy nuttiness emerges on the finish. Balanced tannins and acidity provide warmth."  Wine Enthusiast

This Is Going To Make You Hungry!

 

Are you a fan of Neapolitan pizza?

 

Do you occasionally crave a tenderloin seared to perfection? 

 

Do you enjoy wild mushroom risoto? 

 

Look no further than Antinori's Il Bruciato to complement these and any similar dishes.  It is a stunning blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a dash of Syrah all balanced to perfection.

 

You can dress it up to complement your favorite butcher's cut or enjoy it simply with a glass and a slice! 

 

My favorite:  bruschetta on rosemary ciabatta toasted to perfection!

 

Cheers.

“This gorgeous wine checks a lot of boxes.”

Jeb Dunnuck

“An opaque purple blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, the 2022 Il Bruciato is luxurious with notes of blackberry liqueur and some blue fruit coming through along with notes of violets, olive, and black licorice. Full-bodied, with a weightless and seamless feel, it has no harsh edges and offers ripe tannins with a supple texture, fresh acidity, and clean ripeness through a rather long finish. This gorgeous wine checks a lot of boxes and is drinking beautifully now. It offers a lot of finesse as well as a wide drinking window."
