VINIFICATION Each single vineyard parcel was picked separately on the basis of the ripeness level of their grapes in order to create a vast gamut of individual lots of Vermentino with different aromas and flavors to work with. The grapes were destemmed and given a soft pressing as soon as they arrived in the cellars. The must then went into stainless steel tanks where it fermented at temperatures maintained at 61° Fahrenheit (16° centigrade). The various lots were systematically evaluated and then selected for the final blend. The wine was bottled in January 2017.
HISTORICAL DATA The first vintage of the Guado al Tasso estate’s Vermentino was in 1996. The property is located some 50 miles to the southwest of the city of Florence near the medieval hamlet of Bolgheri. In the Tuscan Maremma. The estate stretches for approximately 2500 acres (1000 hectares) from the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea all the way to the inland hills. In addition to the vineyards, which give the principal crop, there are, in addition, wheat, corn, and sunflower fields and olive groves as well.
TASTING NOTES Straw yellow in color with greenish highlights, the wine shows intense and fragrant aromas which recall citrus fruit, candied fruit, and passion fruit. The flavors are well supported by the acidity and by the mineral sensations, which add savor, length, and persistence.
