Magnum di Guado al Tasso Bolgheri DOC Superiore.

Classification: DOC

Vintage: 2017

Climate: The beginning of the 2017 growing season was defined by rather dry and mild winter conditions that prompted early budbreak. A sudden drop in temperatures at the end of April affected many areas in Tuscany but didn’t cause any damage in Bolgheri due to its proximity to the sea that mitigates temperatures and kept them above freezing. From May through August the weather turned hot and dry, conditions that limited the vines’ vegetative cycle and reduced cluster size. Rainfall at the end of August and September brought temperatures down a notch and allowed the berries to completea perfectly balanced ripening phase, especially in the lateripening varieties. Out of all the grape varieties grown, Cabernet Franc was perhaps the grape variety that performed the best under bizarre climatic conditions, concentrating extracts and aromatic notes without losing its characteristic freshness and balance. The grape harvest took place onSeptember 13th for the first vineyard parcel and on the 20th/21st for the last two parcels.

The Cause

Since 2003, the Veronesi foundation has been pursuing a single objective: promoting the progress of science, health resources and ethical growth—civilly and in society.

"Science must always work for and with the human being,” declared the founder, Umberto Veronesi, “this means respect of the person, research for solutions and strategies that can improve the quality of life, offering new hopes for the present and for the generations in the future”.

At the core of the foundation there is barrier-free and scientific research that invests in young talent from each country, working toward answers to new questions using innovative and high-profile research programs dedicated to the prevention and diagnosis of tumors, cardiovascular disease and neuroscience, and the discovery of cure strategies that are efficient and beneficial to the entire community.

Unique in its genesis, the foundation has pushed its own interests outside the walls of a laboratory, encouraging social involvement and education in science. The Veronesi Foundation is also active with its devotion to science so that the results from science become available to everybody. Particularly, the foundation spreads the principles of prevention and correct lifestyle to keep disease away, even the most serious diseases that we can avoid just by changing our behavior.
