🍷 Tasting notes
-
Color: Guado al Tasso 2020 has an intense ruby red color.
-
Aroma: The nose is struck by notes of small fruits
black, sweet spices, toasted wood and undergrowth.
-
Palate: On the palate, it displays a tannic texture of splendid harmony, refinement, and persistence. A wine already enjoyable in its youth, perhaps even more so than the previous vintage, but capable of improving and evolving over time with a few more years of bottle aging.
