The Bolgheri Vermentino from Antinori's Guado al Tasso estate is a fruity and savory white, which comes from a denomination famous throughout the world for the great reds produced with the famous Bordeaux vines. In reality, Vermentino has always lived in these lands. From the Colli di Luni to the Maremma, the entire Tuscan coast is highly suited for the cultivation of this variety with a Mediterranean profile. Antinori proposes an interpretation with a typically territorial, solar and marine face, which adapts very well to seafood cuisine.
Antinori's Vermentino Bolgheri was born in the Tuscan estate of Guado al Tasso. The property is located in the Upper Maremma, in a splendid coastal area surrounded by the gentle hills of the Bolgheri amphitheater, which protect the area from the north-east winds. The climate is temperate, mild and always very windy due to the constant presence of sea breezes. The sunny exposures of the vineyards favor a perfect ripening of the grapes with particularly rich aromatic profiles. The soils are alluvial in nature, with a mainly silty-sandy composition. The Vermentino grapes come from various vineyards on the estate and upon arrival in the cellar they are gently pressed and vinified separately by parcel. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of about 16 °C. The best batches are then assembled and aged for a few months in steel before bottling.
