Climate<br />The 2021 growing season in Bolgheri was impacted by a long period of drought that lasted from June throughout September. However, unlike the 2017 vintage, winter was<br />particularly rainy which contributed to replenishing groundwater reserves in the deep soils that characterize this territory. The vines had the necessary soil moisture for the<br />entire growth cycle. Spring was cool resulting in a slight delay in bud break and flowering. Temperatures during the summer months were never excessive and ensured a<br />normal, gradual ripening phase of the fruit in each vineyard and produced berries that were whole and in perfect health. Merlot berries for Cont'Ugo began on September 8th<br />in the earlier ripening vineyards and was completed at the end of September in those late-ripening parcels.<br /><br />Vinification<br />After the grapes were hand harvested and carefully selected on sorting tables, the berries were transferred into temperature controlled stainless steel vats where alcoholic<br />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<br />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<br />enhance structure. The different batches were divided according to their individual characteristics and then transferred into barriques where malolactic fermentation was<br />completed by the end of the year. The finest batches were blended and transferred back into second fill barriques for an additional 12-month period of aging, then bottled.<br />Cont'Ugo was bottled during the first half of March 2023.<br /><br />Historical Data<br />The Guado al Tasso estate is located in the small, but prestigious, Bolgheri appellation on the coast Tuscany's Upper Maremma, some 60 miles (100 kilometers) to the<br />southwest of the city of Florence. This appellation has a relatively short history (it was created in 1994) but can boast a worldwide fame as a reference point wine on the<br />international scene. The estates covers an area of about 320 hectares (790 acres) planted to vines, in a splendid plain surrounded by hills known as the Bolgheri<br />amphitheater for its particular geographical conformation. The Guado al Tasso vineyards consist principally of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Petit<br />Verdot, and Vermentino grapes; this last cultivated with both with white and red varieties. They enjoy a mild climate due to the nearby presence of the Mediterranean Sea,<br />constant breezes mitigate summer heat, and the rigors of winter clear the sky and maintain a high degree of solar light and radiation. Cont'Ugo is produced exclusively from<br />Merlot grapes in order to interpret the territory of Bolgheri from a new perspective. The vineyards, situated at an altitude between 150 and 200 feet (45-60 meters) above sea<br />level on clayey-loam soils prevalently of alluvial origin, gave Cont'Ugo great depth and complexity while conserving the fragrance and richness of fruit which are typical of<br />Merlot.<br /><br />Tasting Notes<br />Cont'Ugo 2021 in intensely ruby red in color. The nose presents compelling aromas of small ripe red fruit, Marasca cherries and raspberries, together with hints of juniper<br />and moss. The palate is vibrant with excellent structure and a persistent fruity finish.<br />

OTELLO CECI NERODILAMBRUSCO -<br />EDITION 1813<br />Learn the rules like a professional, so you can break them like an artist. (Pablo Picasso) Otello Ceci Nerodilambrusco is the breaking of rules, it is the power of the artist. It<br />is an idea, a promise, a pact. There is the whole world of Lambrusco in this wine and its being recognised, but there are also roads little travelled by tradition that exalt the<br />rightness of Lambrusco, and it is here that the journey begins in the emotion of discovery, where depth and lightness are the ways that exalt the art of this wine.<br />TECHNICAL DATA SHEET<br />Denomination: Lambrusco Emilia I.G.T.<br />Typology: Sparkling red wine<br />Grape variety: Lambrusco<br />Harvest: end of September<br />Soil: clayey-calcareous of medium texture<br />Vinification: in red with maceration of the must on the marc for up to seven days, the alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel tanks at controlled temperature.<br />Processing: Martinotti<br />Alcohol content: 11% vol.<br />Residual sugar: 30 g/l<br />Total acidity: 6.7 g/l<br />Serving temperature: 8/10°.<br />The data are to be considered as product averages.<br /><br />SENSORY ANALYSISAppearance: Intense ruby red colour, with a rich, lively and persistent mousse.Bouquet: Intense, satisfying, sinuous. The fruity notes are reminiscent<br />of cherry and berries such as blackberry and strawberry. The floral hints of violets accompany the pleasantly spicy and mineral finish.Taste: Surprising and satisfying.<br />Pleasant balance between softness, freshness, sapidity and good tannic texture. The intense nature of the aromas is confirmed on the palate and is enhanced by the long<br />and deep finish. A promise kept: Otello Ceci is a wine that can play with countless pairings by varying the serving temperature. It is ideal for pairing with dishes that express<br />a prevalent fatness such as traditional Italian salami and cold pork meats. It goes well with well-structured pasta and risotto dishes, as well as with medium-aged cheeses or<br />grilled meats. It can also be perfectly expressed as a meditation wine.<br />

<br />GRAPPA LAGRINUM XO RISERVA IMPERIALE<br /><br />In 1379 the grape variety Lagrein was mentioned for the first time in a document as 'bonum Lagrinum'. It is one of the typical regional grape varieties of South Tyrol. The<br />multifaceted grappa produced from this grape variety is particularly well suited for refinement in wooden barrels.<br /><br />Renowned wineries from the Bolzano and Merano regions are the suppliers of the mash for this special distillate, which we carefully distilled in a small water bath alambic in<br />late autumn 2009. After harmonisation in stainless steel barrels, the grappa was filled into French oak barriques in autumn 2010. After 89 months of perfect storage in a<br />controlled atmosphere, the Grappa XO Riserva Imperiale has matured into a noble spirit of rare quality.<br /><br />Multi-layered, complex, with hints of dried fruit, vanilla, honey, excellent ballance and a remarkably delicate finish, this outstanding grappa presents itself like a concert for<br />the senses as a perfect pleasure for meditation. Recommended serving temperature 18°C. Recommended glass: Cognac glass.<br />50 cl 40 % vol<br />
