The San Walfredo Bolgheri DOC Superiore from Tenuta Guado al Tasso (Marchesi Antinori) shows an elegant, measured profile in line with the appellation. In the glass it appears deep ruby, with a bouquet of ripe red and black fruit, subtle spicy notes and a hint of herbaceous character recalling Bolgheri. The body is balanced, tannins are present but gentle, and the acidity supports the structure without overpowering it.

On the palate it confirms a concentrated yet not extreme expression: compact fruit, spicy echoes and a savory finish that invites considered pairings. It suits red meat, lighter game or aged cheeses, as well as mushroom dishes; serve at moderate temperature and decant if desired to highlight the aromas. For those seeking a Bolgheri representative signed by Tenuta Guado al Tasso, this San Walfredo offers a reassuring and coherent choice.
