Antillo Bolgheri D.O.C. Rosso 75cl 2022 PODERE GUADO AL MELO

Antillo, meaning “sunny place,” aptly describes the vineyards where this wine is produced. The label features depictions of vine leaves and grape clusters inspired by ancient Etruscan amphorae. The region is known for its intense light, sea breeze, and climate moderated by its proximity to the sea. This wine, the newest addition to the Guado Al Melo range, blends the oldest Sangiovese with other local varieties that define Bolgheri DOC. It is produced without additives and aged on the lees for at least 12 months in oak barrels. The meticulous care of the pickers and oenologist results in a harmonious, fruity, and lively wine that can age well for up to 8 years. It has a bright purple colour and an expansive, intense aroma of wild berries, particularly blackberry and raspberry, with a subtle spicy note. The wine is well-structured and persistent, with crisp and lively qualities, revealing rich and balanced tannins.
