Tenuta Guado al Tasso (Antinori)

Bolgheri Superiore, Tuscany, Italy

Varietal(s): 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot

The nose is rich with notes of blackberries, black cherry and soil, while a white pepper undertone provides pop. On the supple, warm palate, berries continue leading the way, before a salty, chocolaty finish with another kick of pepper. Stoic tannins are balanced by lively, persistent acidity.
