The Story

Cont'Ugo is an all-Merlot interpretation of Bolgheri, where Tuscan sunshine is tempered by Mediterranean coastal influence.

The Producer

This wine comes from Antinori's Tenuta Guado al Tasso, one of the family's celebrated coastal Tuscan estates.

Place & Terroir

The estate's low-lying alluvial clays and sea breezes help maintain freshness in fully ripened Merlot.

Perfect Pairings

Roast lamb, grilled beef, wild mushrooms or a savoury slow-cooked dish.

Serve around 16–18°C, with air for youthful structured bottles.

Worth Knowing

Unlike many Bolgheri reds, Cont'Ugo is made entirely from Merlot.
