Tasting Notes
-
Goedhuis, November 2020
The Vermentino from Guado al Tasso is a radiant, straw yellow colour with greenish highlights. On the nose it has wonderful fresh and fragrant aromas of yellow fruits, white flowers and notes of citrus and a tingle of grapefruit. This is drinking beautifully now and is extremely inviting. The palate shows refreshing notes of ripe white and yellow stone fruits, with hints of savoury minerals, lemon rind and ends with a citrus lift. Excellent balance between freshness and minerality.
Region
Bolgheri
The medieval town of Bolgheri was originally made famous by the poet Giosuè Carducci who wrote about the stunning Cypress Avenue, a breathtaking and magical three mile long corridor of trees leading up to the entrance to the village. Swept away to the coastal and most westerly area of Tuscany, Bolgheri has become synonymous with wines known as ‘Super Tuscans'. Composed of classic Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (intermixed with the occasional Sangiovese), the Super Tuscans began as mere experimentation in the 1960s and 70s. These international French varieties flourished in Bolgheri's warm, yet maritime climate which resulted in unexpected success and reknown. It is here that one finds such famous names as Ornellaia, Tignanello and Sassicaia.
