Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Cont’Ugo 2023

A still red from Tuscany, 14% ABV, produced by Tenuta Guado al Tasso (Antinori) in the prestigious Bolgheri area. 100% Merlot, a grape variety that expresses its full potential in this terroir. 0.75 L bottle, 2023 vintage. Tenuta Guado al Tasso extends over approximately 320 hectares of vineyards in a splendid plain surrounded by hills known as the “Bolgheri amphitheater.” The selection was made from the finest Merlot grapes from the estate’s 40 hectares of vineyards. On the nose, notes of small red fruits such as cherry, morello cherry, and raspberry stand out, accompanied by aromas of sweet spices and Mediterranean herbs. Intense ruby red. On the palate, it is striking for its silky tannins, a wine with good persistence, great balance, and pleasantness.
