Description
The Bolgheri Bruciato is produced by the Tenuta Guado al Tasso, one of the most historic of the Antinori family, inherited from Piero Antinori’s mother in the 1930s, but whose Gherardesche roots date back to 1200 years ago. The new flowering has brought life to this area on the Maremma coast and laid the foundations for the viticulture that has led the Bolgheri region to be considered one of the most wine-growing areas in the world. prestigious in the Italian and world panorama. In the Bolgheri amphitheater, the estate boasts a vineyard area of approximately 320 hectares that enjoys a perfect climate thanks to its proximity to the sea, whose breezes clear the sky allowing perfect sunshine to the plants and controlling the summer heat.
Il Bruciato is a Bolgheri DOC with a modern vision thanks to the geological variability of the soils where the vineyards have been carefully selected, without ever leaving the unique terroir of Bolgheri. Il Bruciato is composed of a blend of red grapes led by the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon with the addition of Merlot and Syrah grown in the alluvial clay-sandy soil on which the estate stands. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are carefully selected, destemmed and softly pressed. Fermentation is a very delicate art; in fact, the Merlot and Syrah undergo fermentation at a lower temperature to preserve their aromas and takes place partly in barriques and partly in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation for all varieties is carried out in stainless steel tanks. The maturation process ends by the end of the harvest year, and once this phase is complete, the varieties are blended and returned to the barrique to complete the refinement, blend together, and evolve before bottling. The Bolgheri regulations specify one year as the length of refinement, and in fact the wine thus obtained is released for sale on September 1st of the year following the harvest.
