Tenuta il Quinto Guardoalto – Italie – Red – 2017:

 

The Super Tuscan Spirit: Tenuta Il Quinto Guardoalto Red

The Tenuta Il Quinto Guardoalto Red is a prime example of the innovative spirit found in Tuscany’s coastal Maremma region. Classified as an IGT Toscana, this wine embraces the ‘Super Tuscan’ philosophy-unbound by strict traditional rules-to deliver a powerful, modern, and high-quality blend. Featuring Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, it is a bold statement of Maremma terroir and winemaking ambition.

Tasting Profile & Experience

Expect a refined, full-bodied experience:

• Color: Deep, intense ruby red.
• Nose: A complex and seductive bouquet dominated by ripe black cherry, plum, and raspberry, interwoven with notes of sweet spice, tobacco leaf, and subtle Mediterranean garrigue.
• Palate: Full and well-structured, the wine boasts velvety, integrated tannins and a powerful yet elegant mouthfeel. A vibrant streak of acidity ensures balance and a long, memorable finish, confirming its premium aging potential.

Pairing Suggestions & Service

This is a serious wine for a serious meal. We recommend serving it at 60-64°F (16-18°C), preferably decanted for an hour to allow its complex aromas to fully bloom.

• Key Pairings: Pan-seared ribeye steak with herb butter, slow-cooked wild boar ragu (Cinghiale), or an assortment of aged hard cheeses.
