Tenuta Guado al Tasso Cont'Ugo Bolgheri Merlot 2024

A Merlot from Bolgheri, produced by Tenuta Guado al Tasso. The estate lies near Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast, in the so-called Bolgherese amphitheatre, where Merlot has shown its potential. The grapes are vinified in steel and then matured for about a year in barrique. It pairs with rich first courses of Tuscan cooking, such as pasta with sausage. Ruby red, with intense notes of plum, cherry and raspberry, together with undergrowth and spice. Rounded and full on the palate, with an exuberant fruity finish.
