Cont'Ugo 2021 Vintage Overview

2021 OVERVIEW

Generous and deeply colored, the 2021 Tenuta Guado al Tasso Cont'Ugo Merlot layers ripe plum, blackberry and dark cherry with notes of cocoa, spice and a gentle touch of toasted oak. The palate is plush yet vibrant, with lively acidity and polished tannins giving structure to its concentrated fruit and leading to a long, satisfying finish. This vintage shows both immediate appeal and the backbone for graceful evolution in bottle.

About Cont'Ugo

Cont’Ugo is Tenuta Guado al Tasso’s single‑varietal Merlot from the Bolgheri amphitheatre, an Antinori estate on the Tuscan coast; it’s typically plush and richly fruited—red and black cherry, plum and blackberry—framed by Mediterranean scrub, spice, cedar and polished tannins, offering a ripe, balanced expression of Merlot with good structure and aging potential.
