Summary

Where Tuscany's coastal terroir meets four centuries of Antinori expertise, Tenuta Guado al Tasso commands 320 hectares of prime Bolgheri vineyard land, crafting Italy's most coveted Super Tuscans under the masterful direction of renowned winemaker Renzo Cotarella.

Established by the legendary Antinori family in 1995, this coastal estate represents the pinnacle of modern Tuscan winemaking innovation. Renzo Cotarella, Italy's most celebrated consulting enologist, brings decades of expertise to every vintage, transforming the estate's unique alluvial soils into wines of extraordinary complexity. The property's distinctive amphitheater-shaped terrain, protected by rolling hills and influenced by Mediterranean breezes, creates an unparalleled microclimate that allows Bordeaux varietals to achieve remarkable expression in Italian terroir.

The estate's flagship Guado al Tasso blend showcases Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc in perfect harmony, consistently earning 95+ point scores from international critics. Their ultra-premium Matarocchio represents pure Cabernet Franc excellence, while the accessible yet sophisticated Scalabrone offers Sauvignon Blanc and Vermentino coastal elegance. Each wine reflects Cotarella's philosophy of minimal intervention winemaking, allowing the exceptional terroir to speak through every bottle. Production remains deliberately limited, with flagship wines allocated exclusively to collectors and fine wine merchants worldwide.

Visitors to Tenuta Guado al Tasso discover a striking contemporary winery architecture seamlessly integrated into the Tuscan landscape. The estate offers exclusive tastings by appointment only, featuring guided vineyard tours through the amphitheater terrain and private cellar experiences. Their hospitality program includes harvest participation opportunities and intimate dinners paired with library vintages. The modern tasting facility overlooks endless vineyard rows stretching toward the Tyrrhenian Sea, creating an unforgettable backdrop for wine education and appreciation.
