90 Points Wine Advocate
The entry-level Marchesi Antinori 2024 Bolgheri Rosso Guado al Tasso Il Bruciato shows ripe, chewy darkness with thick flavors of plummy fruit, blackberry and a savory note reminiscent of tomatoes on the vine. Soft in texture with a medium- to full-bodied mouthfeel, the wine finishes with a gentle dustiness from fully-integrated tannins.
Winemaker Notes
Il Bruciato 2024 is an intense ruby red color. The nose reveals notes of small red fruit, raspberries and cherries, accompanied by hints of vanilla, tobacco and subtle notes of cotton candy. The palate is balanced and mouth filling: pleasant freshness is accompanied by excellent persistence and closes with a pleasant fruity finish. Il Bruciato remains true to its style and impresses for it’s easy to drink appeal. Il Bruciato was created in the year 2002 during one of the most difficult vintages at Guado al Tasso in order to present the unique terroir of Bolgheri and give it a greater visibility and recognition. The first blend to be used was that of Guado al Tasso only to see, in the years which followed, a modification of the varietal composition and the identification of a series of vineyard plots intended to be used exclusively for this wine.
