About Guado Al Tasso 2020 Scalabrone Rose, Antinori
From Antinori’s celebrated Guado al Tasso Estate. The nearby sea provides a mild climate with constant breezes mitigate summer heat and alleviate harsh winter weather, maintaining a clear sky and a high level of sunlight exposure. The vineyard, as well as the wine, takes its name from a bandit named “Scalabrone” who roamed this area in the early 1800’s, a local Robin Hood who raided the ships in Bolgheri’s old canal harbor.
The three grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah were harvested and fermented separately. Grapes were destemmed, delicately crushed and transferred to the press for a short maceration period of about 2-4 hours at a low temperature to intensify the richness of emerging aromatic compounds. After pressing, the must was put into stainless steel fermentation tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place at a constant temperature of 16 °C (61°F). Each individual lot was carefully and systematically evaluated and then blended.
Scalabrone 2020 is a light peony pink in color. Its nose offers intense notes of red berries, in particular cherries and pomegranate, accompanied by floral sensations of rose petals and blossoms. The palate is pleasantly fruity, delicate, with excellent freshness and persistence.
