Made with 100% Merlot, the Marchesi Antinori 2022 Bolgheri Rosso Guado al Tasso Cont'Ugo reveals a soft and velvety texture with mature aromas of baked blackberry, rhubarb and even a hint of sweet strawberry. This was a very hot vintage, on par with 2017 or even warmer in places, and also characterized by reduced water reserves. These results are perhaps lower on the complexity scale and also quite up front, ripe and immediately generous. It reveals all its cards in one hand.

This is a wonderfully polished and creamy red. Notes of chocolate biscuits, dark plums, cloves and dark cherries on the nose, as well as some graphite, followed by a full-bodied, plush and supple palate. Merlot. Drink now or hold.

The 2022 Cont'Ugo, 100% Merlot, offers terrific freshness, especially for the year. There's a bit of edginess in the tannin from the challenges of the growing season. Even so, what comes through most is the move toward greater vibrancy in the wines.

Taking on a deep red/magenta hue, the 2022 Cont'Ugo features dusty cedar, fruit leather, baking spice, and fresh earth aromas. Full-bodied, it displays a gamey richness, with chewy tannins and a fleshy quality throughout. A plush texture and a graceful tapering finish complement its weightless feel. Enjoy over the next 10 years.
