flavours persistent throughout the tasting, closing with a pleasantly fruity finish.
[Notes2] => Tenuta Guado al Tasso is located in the small but prestigious Bolgheri DOC, on the coast of upper Maremma, about one hundred kilometers southwest from Florence. The estate covers an area of about 320 hectares planted with vines, set in a beautiful plain encircled by rolling hillsides known as the `Bolgheri Amphitheatre`. The nearby sea provides a mild climate with constant breezes that mitigate summer heat and alleviate harsh winter weather, maintaining clear skies and a high level of sunlight exposure.

[WineMakingNotes] => After the grapes were hand harvested and carefully selected on sorting tables, the berries were transferred into
temperature controlled stainless steel vats where alcoholic fermentation and maceration on the skins took place over
a period of about 20 days. Fermentation temperatures were managed based on the ripeness of the grapes: lower
temperatures were applied to preserve and enhance aromatic freshness while higher temperatures, up to 30 °C (86
°F), to boost extraction of phenolic compounds and enhance structure. The different batches were divided
according to their individual characteristics and then transferred into barriques. Malolactic fermentation was
completed by the end of the year. The finest batches were blended and transferred back into barriques, 10% first fill
and 90% second fill, for a further 12-month period of aging, then bottled. Cont’Ugo was left to age in the bottle for
an additional 3 months before being released for sale.

[Notes1] => 300 ha of vineyards are located at the centre of the so called ‘Bolgheri amphitheatre’ – gentle hills surrounding a magnificent plain, rolling down to the sea. The amphitheatre has a micro climate with unique features
reflected in the great wines produced in this terroir. Guado al Tasso is the prestigious flagship wine of this estate and fully expresses this unique terroir in all its structure, elegance and complexity.
[Notes2] => Bolgheri, the prestigious small appellation in which Guado al Tasso is located, was famous for its rosé wines until the 1970’s; for this wine , and for white wines as well, it received appellation status in 1984, which was then extended to the red wines of the area in 1994. The zone in any case, is known and prized for its exceptional red wines, its so-called “Super Tuscans”. with this important richness and with the elevated quality of its wines, Bolgheri has become one of the new capitals of world oenology
[Notes3] => The overall surface area of the estate is over 1000 hectares (2500 acres), 300 of which (750 acres) are planted to vines; there are, in addition, woods, known as the Macchia del Bruciato, where Cinta Senese pigs, a prized Tuscan breed, and other animals are allowed to graze in the wild. The vineyards – 45-65 meters above sea level on soils of various composition – are planted to Vermentino, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot along with small quantities of other grape varieties.
Thanks to a mild climate created by the nearby
presence of the sea and the constant breezes which mitigate the extremes of summer heat and winter cold, sweep the sky clean of clouds and cover, and accordingly increase the amount and intensity of sunlight, the harvest here normally commences at the end of August, two weeks earlier than the more inland zones of Tuscany. An ideal climate as well for the small greenhouse where the different varieties of young vines to be planted are grown and then utilized in the other Antinori estates in Tuscany and Umbria.
