Cont’Ugo is a 100% Merlot from the prestigious Bolgheri vineyards on the Tuscan coast, a region renowned for the exceptional quality of its red wines. This wine reveals intense aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, accompanied by delicate notes of vanilla, licorice, and sweet spices. On the palate, it seduces with its generous roundness, silky tannins, and beautiful freshness, offering a perfect balance between power and elegance. Carefully aged in oak barrels, Cont’Ugo develops remarkable aromatic complexity and depth, while remaining approachable. This Merlot pairs perfectly with grilled meats, dishes with sauces, and mature cheeses.

Guado al Tasso is a prestigious estate nestled in the heart of the renowned Bolgheri appellation, on the Tuscan coast, and is one of the jewels of the Antinori family. The estate benefits from an exceptional terroir composed of alluvial soils rich in pebbles and clay, combined with a microclimate influenced by the proximity of the Tyrrhenian Sea, which provides freshness and natural ventilation. These ideal conditions allow for the careful cultivation of renowned international grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc, resulting in elegant, powerful, and balanced wines. Guado al Tasso’s vintages are distinguished by their aromatic complexity, harmonious structure, and great aging potential, perfectly embodying the authentic expression of the Bolgheri terroir. An essential reference in modern Tuscan viticulture, Guado al Tasso combines tradition and innovation under the aegis of the Antinori family, a symbol of excellence and Italian know-how.
