Il Bruciato 2023 by Antinori is a Bolgheri DOC that embodies the power and elegance of the famous “Bolgheri amphitheater,” produced on the Guado al Tasso estate. This intense ruby red releases a bouquet of blackberry, cassis, black pepper, and sweet spices, with a hint of Mediterranean scrub and cocoa. Aged for 8 months in barrique, it offers a soft and enveloping palate, with well-integrated tannins and a warm and spicy finish. The 2023 vintage, balanced and generous, makes Il Bruciato a highly drinkable wine, with a modern character that makes it ideal to accompany robust dishes or to be enjoyed alone.

 Production Method The grapes come from the Guado al Tasso estate vineyards, on sandy-clay soils with a western exposure. Manual harvest in September, separate fermentation by variety in steel at 28-30 °C for 10-15 days, with maceration for 10-15 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for 8 months in French oak barriques (20% new), followed by 4 months in bottle before release.
