Cont'Ugo · Bolgheri Rosso DOC 2022

  The “Cont'Ugo” Bolgheri Rosso from Tenuta Guado al Tasso is a pure Merlot that combines the elegance and depth of the Bolgheri terroir. The vineyards, located at an altitude of 45 to 60 meters above sea level and planted on loamy-clay soils of alluvial origin, offer ideal conditions for this grape variety. The mild climate, favored by the proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, ensures slow and even ripening of the grapes, allowing the wine to retain its characteristic freshness and fruitiness.

In the glass, Cont'Ugo presents itself in an intense ruby red with purple reflections. The bouquet unfolds aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherries, currants, and raspberries, accompanied by subtle herbal notes and a hint of forest floor. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with well-integrated tannins and a lively freshness that gives it remarkable persistence. The finish is harmonious and long, making Cont'Ugo an excellent accompaniment to dishes such as grilled meat, game, or aged cheese. - Gerardo [TS10/23]
