The 2025 vintage in Bolgheri began with a mild and particularly rainy winter. Rainfall was abundant until May, while June was dry and particularly hot, favoring optimal balance in the vineyards, supported by the good water reserves accumulated in the previous months. The summer continued mild, with rainfall above historical averages, but well distributed throughout July, August, and September. Veraison occurred slightly early, about a week, followed by uniform ripening.

The Vermentino was harvested between early and mid-September, in several batches, to achieve both freshness and tension as well as complexity and intensity.

Winery
Each parcel was harvested separately, based on the level of ripeness of the grapes, to enhance the complex terroir characteristics of each vineyard. Upon arrival at the cellar, the grapes were destemmed, delicately crushed, and softly pressed. The resulting must was transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place at a temperature of 16°C. The different lots were carefully and regularly evaluated and blended. Tenuta Guado al Tasso's Vermentino was bottled in January 2026.

Historical Data
Tenuta Guado al Tasso is located in the small and prestigious Bolgheri DOC, on the coast of Alta Maremma, about 100 kilometers southwest of Florence. This appellation has a relatively short history (established in 1994) but boasts international fame as a new benchmark in the global winemaking scene. Tenuta Guado al Tasso extends over approximately 320 hectares of vineyards in a splendid plain surrounded by hills known as the "Bolgheri amphitheater" due to its unique shape. Tenuta Guado al Tasso's vineyards are primarily planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, and Vermentino grapes. The latter is cultivated with both white and red grapes. There is also a small presence of Grenache, Petit Verdot, Viognier, and Sémillon. The vineyards enjoy a mild climate due to the nearby sea: constant breezes mitigate the summer heat and the harsh winters, clearing the sky and maintaining a high level of sunshine.
The first vintage of Vermentino produced at Tenuta Guado al Tasso was 1996.

Tasting Notes
Tenuta Guado al Tasso's Vermentino is straw yellow in color with greenish highlights. On the nose, it displays fresh notes reminiscent of the Bolgheri coast, recalling sensations of flowers and white peaches, citron peel, and hints of aromatic herbs such as sage and thyme. On the palate, it is pleasant, well-balanced between freshness and savory flavors.
