Cont'Ugo 2012 Antinori

Wine description

The Antinori's Cont'Ugo is produced entirely with Merlot grapes as a new interpretation of the Bolgheri territory. The vineyards grow at an altitude that varies between 45 and 60 meters (147/196 feet) above sea level on clay-loam soils that are of alluvial origin that give the wine deep complex notes while preserving the fragrance and freshness typical of Merlot berries. A wine of great pleasure and depth, characterized by an exuberant fruit aftertaste.

Tasting Notes

Ruby red color; the nose has intense notes of plum, cherry and raspberry, combined with notes of undergrowth and spices. Its roundness and thickness stand out on the palate.
