| 歷史 |
Tenuta Guado al Tasso is located in the small and prestigious DOC of Bolgheri, on the coast of Alta Maremma, about one hundred kilometres south-west of Florence. This appellation has a relatively short history (it was established in 1994) but boasts an international reputation as a new benchmark in the world wine scene. Tenuta Guado al Tasso covers an area of approximately 320 hectares under vine in a splendid plain surrounded by hills known as the 'Bolgheri amphitheatre' for its particular conformation. Tenuta Guado al Tasso's vineyards are mainly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Vermentino grapes, the latter cultivated with both white and black grapes. They enjoy a mild climate due to the nearby presence of the sea: constant breezes mitigate the summer heat and the rigours of winter, clearing the sky and keeping the sunshine index high. Il Bruciato was born in 2002, in one of the most difficult vintages of Tenuta Guado al Tasso, in order to recount and make known the unique terroir of Bolgheri in a modern style. |
| 收成 |
The harvest began with the Merlot at the end of August, slightly earlier than average, and continued with the Syrah and Cabernet Franc in early to mid-September before concluding with the Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon at the end of the month. The 2022 should be considered a vintage that is more oriented towards freshness and fruit expression than towards power. |
| 釀造 |
On arrival at the winery, the selected grapes were destemmed and softly crushed. Fermentation and maceration took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for a period of approximately 10-15 days at a temperature of 28-30 °C. Part of the Merlot and Syrah musts were kept at lower fermentation temperatures to better preserve the varietal aromas. |
| 陳年 |
Malolactic fermentation took place partly in barriques and partly in stainless steel tanks, and was completed by the end of the year for all varieties. Subsequently, the Cabernet Sauvignon was blended with Merlot, Syrah, and small quantities of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot: the resulting wine met again in the barrique, where it rested before bottling. |
