Description
Vermentino from Tenuta Guado al Tasso is straw yellow in colour with greenish hues. Intense on the nose with notes of citrus fruit, white flower blossom and some tropical aromas. The palate is savoury with a good persistence of flavour and finishes fresh with hints of citrus.
The Guado al Tasso estate is located in the small but prestigious Bolgheri DOC, on the coast of upper Maremma, about one hundred kilometres southwest of Florence. This appellation has a relatively recent history, DOC Bolgheri was approved in 1995 and since then it has become an internationally recognized reference point for the Italian and international winemaking arena. The estate covers an area of 320 hectares (790 acres) planted with vines, set in a beautiful plain encircled by rolling hillsides known as the “Bolgheri Amphitheatre” due to its shape. The vineyards are planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Vermentino. The nearby sea provides a mild climate with constant breezes that mitigate summer heat and alleviate harsh winter weather, maintaining a clear sky and a high level of sunlight exposure.
Food matches: Pairs well with fish dishes, tomato-based pasta or as an aperitivo!
