Il Bruciato 2020 is an intense ruby red color. Its nose is intense and enticing with notes of currants, blackberries, delicate hints of vanilla and sweet spices. Excellent harmony on the palate where a fruity finish dominates and imparts good persistence and easy drinkability.

Historical Data
The Guado al Tasso estate is located some 50 miles (80 kilometers) to the southwest of the city of Florence near the medieval hamlet of Bolgheri. The property, approximately 2500 acres (1000 kilometers) in total size, extends from the Tyrrhenian Sea to the inland hills. It includes, in addition to 750 acres (300 hectares) of vineyards, terrain planted to the cultivation of wheat, barley, oats, and olive groves along with woods in which a herd of “Cinta senesi” pigs, a prize local breed, roams and feeds. Il Bruciato was first produced in 2002, one of the most difficult vintages of all for the Guado al Tasso estate, with the precise aim of recounting and in creating a greater perception – in a modern style – of the unique terroir of Bolgheri. The initial blend utilized was that of Guado al Tasso, but then changed over the years both in its varietal composition and in the range of specific vineyard plots assigned for its production.
