Cont'Ugo comes exclusively from Merlot grapes to interpret the Bolgheri terroir from a new perspective. Intense ruby red. On the nose, notes of small red fruits such as cherry, morello cherry and raspberry stand out, accompanied by aromas of sweet spices and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is striking for its silky tannins, a wine of good persistence, great balance and pleasantness.
