il bruciato bolgheri 2022
Il Bruciato was first produced in 2002 in one of the most difficult vintages ever for the Guado al Tasso estate. The wine is a modern interpretation of Bolgheri's unique terroir made from carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah grapes from Guado al Tasso's vineyards. The geological composition of the soil is diversified giving the wine structure and complexity.
Nose: prominent aromas of black currant, licorice and a touch of herbal qualities like rosemary. Secondary notes of vanilla, leather and Earth.
Palate: Supple and expressive fruit. Firm but well-integrated tannins, contributing to a soft, smooth texture.
Finish: Along and persistent finish, leaving lingering flavors of dark fruit and spice that will leave you wanting another sip.
Rated 93-Points 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. Drink 2024-2040.
Rated 92-Points Wine Enthusiast
The nose is hot, sanguine and earthy, with prominent aromas of leather, espresso and berry compote, but a gentle whiff of vanilla for levity. The palate offers an intense warmth like a sunrise's first rays that illuminate flavors of soil, herbs, flowers and finally, ripe berries.
Pairing
Tuscan Cuisine: Wild boar ragu: A classic Tuscan pairing, the earthy flavors of the boar complement the wine's dark fruit and spice.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina: A thick-cut, grilled steak is a perfect match for the wine's robust tannins.
Pappardelle with meat sauce: Rich, hearty pasta dishes with meat sauces work beautifully.
Roasted lamb: The richness of lamb and the wine's tannins create a harmonious pairing.
Hard cheeses: Aged Pecorino or other hard, flavorful cheeses.
Grilled steaks: Ribeye, New York strip, or other flavorful cuts of beef.
Roasted game: Venison, duck, or other game birds.
History
The Guado al Tasso Estate is located in the prestigious Bolgheri DOC, part of the Tuscan coastal area of Maremma, known for its untamed landscape and unspoiled beauty. Just 60 miles southwest of Florence, it sits on a magnificent plain in the heart of the Bolgheri amphitheater, a natural phenomenon created by hills that embrace the sea and produce a mild and temperate microclimate. Blessed with ample sunshine and constant breezes that take the edge off the summer heat and winter cold, Guado al Tasso is the ideal environment for cultivating healthy vine growth and proper ripening of the estate’s grapes. Inherited from Carlotta della Gherardesca, and revolutionized by Niccoló Antinori, the mother and father of Piero Antinori, Guado al Tasso is a reference point property in the life and history of the family. Here the challenge is to create wines of absolute excellence, always representative of the Bolgheri history, culture, and winemaking traditions.
