Il Bruciato 2022: An Explosion of Freshness and Fruit from the Bolgheri DOC

In the heart of the prestigious Bolgheri denomination, Il Bruciato 2022 stands out for its vibrant expression of freshness and fruit. Characterized by a particular climatic vintage, with a long absence of rain followed by beneficial summer rainfall, this wine reflects a perfect balance between sugars and acidity, elements that define its structure and the pleasure of sipping.

2022 saw an anticipation of the phenological phases in Bolgheri, from early budding to accelerated maturation, up to to a harvest that began with Merlot at the end of August and ended with Cabernet Sauvignon at the end of September. This cycle allowed us to obtain grapes with excellent ripeness, emphasizing freshness rather than power in the final wine.

Winemaking: Precision Meets Art

The careful selection of the grapes, followed by controlled fermentation and maceration, has allowed us to preserve the varietal aromas and obtain a well-structured wine. The malolactic fermentation, partly in barrique and partly in steel, has further enriched the complexity of Bruciato, preparing the wine for refinement in barrique which has defined its character.

Terroir of Bolgheri: A Natural Stage

Tenuta Guado al Tasso, with its splendid "Bolgheri amphitheatre", benefits from a mild climate influenced by the proximity of the sea, which contributes to giving life to wines of extraordinary expression and character. Il Bruciato, born in 2002 from a winemaking challenge, continues to be an ambassador of the modern style and quality of the Bolgheri terroir.
