Il Bruciato

Il Bruciato from Guado al Tasso showcases a lovely red blend from the unique terroir of Bolgheri. A portion of the Merlot and Syrah musts were kept at lower temperatures during fermentation to better preserve each grape variety’s distinctive aromas. Malolactic fermentation took place both in barriques and in stainless steel tanks and was completed by the end of the year for all grape varieties. Afterwards, Cabernet Sauvignon was blended & blend reintroduced into barriques where it is left to age for 6 months before bottling. Aromas of small red fruit, raspberries and cherries, accompanied by hints of vanilla, tobacco and subtle notes of cotton candy. The palate is balanced and mouth filling: pleasant freshness is accompanied by excellent persistence and closes with a pleasant fruity finish. Il Bruciato remains true to its style and impresses for it’s easy to drink appeal.
