Cont'Ugo, Tenuta Guado al Tasso (Antinori) 2020 (750 ml)

94 poena - James Suckling

Predivno vino izuzetne bogatosti i dubine, Cont'Ugo je proizvedeno isključivo od sorte Merlot kao nova interpretacija teritorije Bolgheri. Vinogradi se nalaze na nadmorskoj visini između 45 i 60 metara, na zemljištima glinasto-ilovaste strukture aluvijalnog porijekla... što vinu daje duboke i kompleksne note, uz očuvanje mirisnosti i svježine karakteristične za bobice Merlota.

U berbi 2020. godine, Cont’Ugo se ističe zavodljivom rubin-crvenom bojom. Na nosu obiluje aromama trešnje, crne ribizle, masline, duvana i slatkih začina, uz svježe balzamne note mediteranskog rastinja. Na nepcu je prelijepo zaobljeno i baršunasto, uz izuzetno bogatstvo ukusa koje traje tokom cijele degustacije. Čvrsti tanini, koji će se s vremenom dodatno smekšati, čine ovo vino savršenim izborom uz jagnjeće kotlete, pečenu jagnjeću butkicu, grilovanu divljač i pečenu svinjetinu.

A gorgeous wine of remarkable richness and depth, Cont'Ugo is produced entirely with Merlot as a new interpretation of the Bolgheri territory. The vineyards grow at an altitude that varies between 45 and 60 meters above sea level on clay-loam soils that are of alluvial origin... these give the wine deep complex notes while preserving the fragrance and freshness typical of Merlot berries.  

In the 2020 vintage Cont’Ugo is in a beguiling ruby red in colour. The nose is bursting with cherry, black currant, olive, tobacco and sweet spice, accompanied by fresh balsamic notes of Mediterranean scrub. The palate is beautifully round and velvety, sustained by an excellent richness of flavours persistent throughout the tasting.  The firm tannins, which will resolve over time, make this an excellent pairing with lamb chops, roast leg of lamb, grilled venison, and roast pork.
