Cont'Ugo

Bolgheri Red Blend

The Cont'ugo Cont'Ugo is a captivating red blend hailing from the esteemed Bolgheri region of Italy. This delightful wine showcases a rich crimson hue that evokes a sense of warmth and allure. On the palate, it boasts a full-bodied character, enveloping the senses with its smooth yet notable tannins that create a velvety mouthfeel. The acidity is bright and refreshing, perfectly balancing the wine's robust structure and enhancing its overall depth. Fruit intensity is prominent, with layers of dark fruit flavors such as ripe blackberries and plums, complemented by subtle notes of spice and earthiness that reflect the diverse terroir of Bolgheri. Additionally, the wine’s off-dry nature adds to its complexity, making it a versatile choice for food pairings and a delightful companion for special occasions.

Italy's rich food and wine heritage is nowhere better demonstrated than historic Tuscany. You can eat and drink like a king here—ideally on a grand terrazza overlooking medieval hillsides strewn with olive and cypress trees. From mouthwatering whites for sipping with antipasti, to sophisticated reds that elevate the meat dishes of Florence (and of course leaving room for sweet Vin Santo with dessert), Tuscany has it all. Sangiovese is the region's star grape, giving us not just Chianti, but also Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and the epic Super Tuscan blends.
