"Hottail" I look at the Badger
Antinori
The Bolgheri Rosato “Scalabrone” from the Antinori family's Tenuta Guado al Tasso is a rosé that well represents the territory of this corner of the Tuscan coast.
It is, in fact, made with three international vines that have made the fortune of Bolgheri: Cabernet Sauvignon, which gives elegance and structure, Merlot, which gives soft fruity notes and Syrah, which helps to enrich the bouquet with a touch of spices . The result is an intense, fruity rosé rich in intriguing aromatic facets. At the table it goes very well with a platter of tasty Tuscan cured meats, with white meats or with tomato seafood stew.
The “Scalabrone” Rosato was born in the heart of Tenuta Guado al Tasso, a splendid farm located in the Castagneto Carducci area, between Via Bolgherese and the Aurelia. The Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah vineyards are grown in the Bolgheri amphitheater, on soils of rather heterogeneous origin, predominantly alluvial, characterized by the presence of sand, silt, clay and abundant skeleton. The three vines are harvested and vinified separately, following the different ripening periods. At the end of destemming, we proceed with soft pressing with brief contact with the skins to extract all the aromas. Fermentation is carried out in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16 °C. The assembly then proceeds and the wine rests for a few months in steel tanks before bottling.
The Bolgheri Rosato “Scalabrone” wine, made by Antinori in the Tenuta Guado al Tasso, is a label that confirms the tradition of the Tuscan Coast area in the production of great rosés with a marine and Mediterranean profile. In the glass it presents a beautiful bright pink color. The bouquet is intense and fine, with aromas of rose petals, aromas of raspberry, red currant, wild strawberries, morello cherry, pomegranate, hints of aromatic herbs from the Mediterranean scrub and a spicy touch. The sip is clear and savory, with ripe and generous fruit, which extends harmoniously towards a fresh finish with good tasting persistence. It is the ideal label for those who love rich and complex rosés.
