Il Bruciato is the younger brother of the Gua-do al Tasso, with a more contemporary style. It is grown in vineyards which are high in potential, but not quite prestigious enough to make the Guado al Tasso; although the vineyard management aims to produce the highest possible quality. The wine is aged in barrels for at least eight months and for a further four months in the bottle; and is both intense and very smooth. Food pairing: Pasta with ragù sauce, grilled meat, game meat, boar meat, aged cheese. Serving temperature: 18-20° C. Taste Has excellent structure, is remarkably mouth filling with a pleasant fruity aftertaste that makes it pleasantly easy to drink and closes with a lingering finish. Appearance: Intensely ruby red in color. Aroma: Aromas include small ripe red fruit accompanied by notes of sweet spices and light hints of mint and tobacco. Grape variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah.
