Cont'Ugo 2019 75cl

Situated on the biodiverse, untouched coast of Tuscany, Guado al Tasso is one of the stars of the Bolgheri DOC. Stretching over four kilometers along the Tyrrhenian Sea, the cantina lies in Maremma just one-hour south of the famed village of Pisa. This estate is just one of the many top-producing Tuscan estates owned by the illustrious Antinori family, however this beautiful property is also their private summer retreat. Encompassing over 600 hectares of land, the property is split between vineyards and the unique contrast between beaches and wooded areas – which shows off their native fauna and flora. The tenuta crafts a couple wonderful whites, a rosé, and several five-star reds. Guado al Tasso is leaning toward a much more Bordeaux-like style regarding their reds, using slightly larger barriques and less new-oak. The flagship of this estate, Guado al Tasso expresses powerful characteristics of the upper Maremma balanced by overall elegance and finesse. The second wine, Il Bruciato shares the same philosophy of excellence, preforming as an approachable, slightly spicy wine with a long pleasurable fruit finish.
