2023 Tenuta Guado al Tasso Vermentino DOC, Tuscany

Tenuta Guado al Tasso Vermentino from Tuscany is a lively and vibrant white that brings a refreshing twist to the classic Italian variety. Produced by the prestigious Antinori family at their renowned estate in the Bolgheri region, this wine showcases the quality and elegance for which Tuscan whites are known. The Vermentino grapes thrive in the warm coastal climate, benefiting from the cooling influence of the sea, which allows them to develop bright, fresh flavors while retaining crisp acidity.

The wine is a stunning pale gold with a bright clarity that hints at its vibrant character. On the nose, it offers an enticing mix of citrus fruits—lemon zest, lime, and green apple—along with a light herbal quality and a touch of minerality that gives it a distinct coastal influence. There’s also a delicate floral note, adding a layer of complexity to the fragrance. On the palate, it’s crisp and clean, with a silky texture that’s balanced by a zesty acidity. The fruit flavors are fresh and mouthwatering, with citrus and green apple leading the way, while subtle hints of almond and a mineral freshness bring a savory edge to the wine. The finish is long and refreshing, with a lingering citrus note that makes each sip inviting.

Tenuta Guado al Tasso Vermentino is perfect for pairing with a wide range of dishes. It’s a natural companion to seafood, from grilled fish to shrimp pasta, but it also works beautifully with fresh salads, light pastas, or even a cheese platter. Its crispness and lively character make it a fantastic choice for warm weather, as well as an ideal wine for casual gatherings or more refined meals.
