Bold & Structured

The Antinori Tenuta Guado al Tasso Cont’Ugo 2022 is a 100% Merlot from Bolgheri, Tuscany, characterized by an intense ruby red color, vibrant red fruit aromas (cherry, raspberry), and notes of Mediterranean herbs. It offers a structured yet elegant,, and creamy palate with fine tannins and a long,, persistent finish. Key Tasting Notes & Characteristics: Appearance: Deep, intense ruby red, often with a violet center. Nose: Intense, ripe red fruit, notably cherries, raspberries, and blackcurrant, complemented by Mediterranean scrub, undergrowth, and subtle tobacco or chocolate hints. Palate: Medium to full-bodied with a velvety texture. It combines polished fruitiness (black cherry, plum) with firm, "grippy" tannins resulting from the challenging 2022 growing season. Finish: Long and persistent with a mix of fresh fruit and, in some notes,, toasty oak.

Occhetti is ruby red in color with garnet hues, typical of this grape variety. Its nose is elegant with notes of raspberries that smoothly merge with hints of roses and licorice. The palate is full, harmonious with a lengthy tannin-rich finish.
