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.
