Born from the union of Sangiovese, traditionally used in Tuscan reds, with Cabernet<br />Sauvignon and Syrah, not widely used and known in the Maremma in 1988, all grown in the clay-limestone soil of Poggio dell'Avvoltore, this wine marks a milestone in the<br />Moris family's legacy of producing high quality wines in the Tuscan Maremma.<br /><br />TASTING NOTES:<br />Colour: ruby red with purple highlights<br />Bouquet: complex, with hints of ripe fruit and vanilla<br />Taste: full-bodied and soft, with a distinct velvety feel<br />Serving temperature: 18°C<br />Pairing: great roasts<br /><br />TECHNICAL NOTES:<br />Production area: Poggio dell'Avvoltore, Tenuta Poggetti, Massa Marittima.<br />Soil: clayey, rich in skeleton, tendentially alkaline.<br />Exposure: South-West<br />Yield per hectare: 35 ql. of grapes<br /><br />PRODUCTION NOTES:<br />Harvest takes place the second and fourth week of September and the first and second week of October. Fermentation in cement tanks, with temperature control and two<br />daily pumpings over for the first 10 days. The wine remains for a further 15 days in contact with the skins before being drawn off and immediately put into 225-litre barriques<br />(80% new), where malolactic fermentation takes place. Maturation in wood lasts about a year, during which time the wine is racked. The wine remains in the bottle for six<br />months before being put on the market.<br />

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 />

Quercegobbe<br />Merlot 100%<br />A real cru from which the merlot grapes used to produce the wine come.<br /><br />Quercegobbe is in an ideal position, on the edge of the Mediterranean maquis but close to the winery, on a well-ventilated hill overlooking the sea.<br /><br />Very concentrated ruby colour. Wide and intriguing nose, at first in the fruity notes of blueberries, raspberries, sour cherries and plums, then in the Mediterranean<br />component of myrtle, rosemary and liquorice.<br />The body is dense, rich overall, soft, with smooth tannins. As vigorous as it is balanced, it is an impactful red that does not betray expectations.<br />Production methodPrecious threads from the past weave a modern weave.<br />The production method is rigorously aimed at defending the territorial connotation.<br /><br />It ferments in truncated conical oak vats and matures for 15 months, partly in new 600-litre demi-muids and partly in second-passage barriques. Finally, it is aged in the<br />bottle for a further 10 months.<br /><br />Analytical data<br />Alcohol: 14.5 % - Total acidity: 5.7 - pH: 3.62<br />
