Cont 'Ugo Bolgheri DOC by Guado al Tasso ranks among the top wines of this fine Marchesi Antinori winery. Cont 'Ugo Bolgheri shines beautifully red in the glass, with intense notes on the nose, well-integrated notes of ripe cherries and blueberries, complemented by appealing aromas of candied fruit and sweet spices. On the palate, Cont 'Ugo presents itself soft, balanced and sustainable in taste, a wine characterized by harmony and pleasure to the long fruity aftertaste.
