Il Bruciato 2019 Bolgheri Rosso DOC - Guado al Tasso Estate - Antinori

Il Bruciato 2019 has an intense ruby red color. The nose is characterized by notes of small intact black fruits, sweet spices and tobacco. On the palate it has a good structure, harmony and pleasantness to drink. In the aftertaste, fresh and fruity notes predominate, giving the wine succulence and sweetness. The 2019 vintage was characterized by a generally cold period between April and May and by a generally hot and dry climate until July. The sudden increase in temperatures has favored a production characterized by sparse and light bunches. The stable and sunny climate of August and September allowed the grapes to complete ripening in optimal conditions. Part of the Merlot and Syrah musts were kept at lower fermentation temperatures to better preserve the varietal aromas. The malolactic fermentation took place partly in barrique and partly in stainless steel tanks, and was completed by the end of the year for all varieties. Subsequently the Cabernet Sauvignon was combined with Merlot, Syrah, and small quantities of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot: the wine thus obtained met the barrique again, where it rested before allowing itself to be bottled.
