Il Bruciato Bolgheri Magnum 2023 DOC by Antinori is a wine that embodies the elegance and power of the Bolgheri terroir, produced on the Guado al Tasso estate. This intense ruby red with violet reflections releases a rich 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 persistent finish. The 2023 vintage, warm but well-managed, gives this Magnum a robust structure and immediate drinkability, with aging potential until 2038, making it perfect for special occasions or for the cellar of an enthusiast. The Magnum format favors a slower and more complex evolution.

 Production Method The grapes come from the Guado al Tasso estate vineyards, on sandy-clay soils with a western exposure, at 50-100 meters above sea level, influenced by the sea breeze. Manual harvest in September, with double selection of the grapes. Separate fermentation by variety in steel at 28-30 °C for 10-15 days, with maceration on the skins for 10-15 days. A part of Merlot and Syrah ferments at lower temperatures to preserve the aromas. After malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for 8 months in French oak barriques (20% new), followed by 4 months in the bottle. The Magnum format (limited production) enhances the evolution of the wine.

 Pairings Grilled meat, pasta with meat sauce, medium-aged cheeses, light game.
