Hailing from the prestigious Tenuta Guado al Tasso estate in the coastal Bolgheri region of Tuscany, Antinori's Scalabrone Rosato is named after a legendary 19th-century bandit, a Robin Hood-like figure who once roamed the local hills. This distinctive rosé is crafted from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, reflecting the modern, international spirit of Bolgheri's terroir. The vineyards benefit from a mild maritime climate and clay-loam soils, which impart both richness and refreshing acidity to the grapes. To preserve its vibrant fruit character, the wine undergoes a brief maceration on the skins followed by fermentation and short aging in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, resulting in a bright, cherry-pink rosé with expressive aromas of wild berries, herbs, and subtle spice.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Tracing its winemaking heritage back to 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Winemakers' Guild, Marchesi Antinori has been shaped by twenty-six generations of family leadership. Headquartered in the heart of Chianti Classico, the family has expanded its portfolio across prestigious estates in Tuscany, Umbria, and beyond, driven by a philosophy that balances deep historical respect with bold innovation. Antinori famously pioneered the "Super Tuscan" movement in the 1970s, introducing revolutionary French oak aging and international varieties to create iconic labels like Tignanello and Solaia. Today, their diverse portfolio spans from the elegant Sangiovese of Badia a Passignano to the acclaimed white blend Cervaro della Sala, cementing their legacy as global ambassadors of Italian fine wine.
