5. Antinori Tenuta Guado al Tasso Cont’Ugo Bolgheri 2019

Insider Monkey Score: 6

Price: $46

The Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Rosso Cont’Ugo is a pure expression of Merlot from the Marchesi Antinori estate in Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast. Produced with 100% Merlot, this vintage is fragrant and bright with aromas ranging from bold berries and raspberries to blue flowers and dried mint. The vineyards grow at an altitude that varies between 45 and 60 meters above sea level on clay-loam soils that are of alluvial origin that give the wine deep complex notes while preserving the fragrance and freshness typical of Merlot berries.

The Antinori family has been committed to the art of winemaking since 1385. The Marchesi Antinori group also acquired the Napa Valley-based Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars earlier this year.
