About this wine
Antinori's flagship red from the Guado al Tasso estate in Bolgheri, a Bordeaux-style blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc and Merlot.

A powerful, polished introduction to Super Tuscan-style Bordeaux blends from the Tuscan coast.
Sommelier's Note
"One of the most consistently high-scoring Bolgheri reds vintage after vintage — a benchmark for Tuscan coastal Cabernet blends."
Food Pairings
Excellent with grilled steak, lamb, and game birds; the ripe tannins also stand up to rich pasta dishes with meat ragù.
When to drink it
Special dinners, steakhouse pairings, and cellar-worthy gifts for wine collectors.
