Tenuta Guado al Tasso is located in the small but prestigious Bolgheri DOC appellation on the coast of Upper Maremma, about one hundred kilometers southwest of Florence. This appellation has a relatively recent history as it was established in 1994 but has gained worldwide recognition as a new reference point in the international oenological world. Tenuta Guado al Tasso extends over an area of 1000 hectares (2500 acres), 320 (790 acres) of which are planted with vines. The remaining hectares are cultivated with wheat, sunflowers, and olive groves, all set inside a beautiful plain encircled by rolling hillsides known as the “Bolgheri amphitheater” due to its particular shape. Tenuta Guado al Tasso’s vineyards are planted primarily to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Vermentino. There is also a small presence of Grenache, Petit Verdot, Viognier and Sémillon. 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. The first vintage of Vermentino produced at Tenuta Guado al Tasso was 1996.
Vermentino 2025 from Tenuta Guado al Tasso is straw yellow with greenish hues. On the nose it shows fresh notes that recall the aromas of the Bolgheri coast, evoking sensations of flowers and white peach, citron peel, and hints of aromatic herbs such as sage and thyme. On the palate it is pleasant, well balanced between freshness and savoriness.
