Marchesi Antinori
Tenuta Guado al Tasso Cont'Ugo Bolgheri Merlot
At a tasting at the impressive Antinori facility outside of Florence. 100% Merlot from Bolgheri. Brief Notes - very plummy, excellent dark fruits, a balsamic note. Made for short term drinking I feel, to capture the current fresh fruit flavours.

Jul 14th, 2021The 2016 Cont'Ugo offers a super-appealing mix of rich, dark fruit and bright acids with notes of black cherry, graphite, plum, chocolate, savory herbs and leather. Another year in bottle has done wonders for the 2016, which is showing very well today. Drink it over the next decade or so. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2020)

Nice Super Tuscan, 100% Merlot, aromas and flavors of blackberry, black cherry, wet earth, subtle smoke. Good acidity, smooth tannins, overall pretty yummy!

May 7th, 2018I knew it was Merlot, and most of all I knew it was Italian Merlot which makes me happy. Blackberry jam & sweet oak
