Montevertine

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 96

Drink To: 2028-2066

This historic wine produced between 1971 and 1981 as Chianti classico Montevertine and from 1982, following the exit from the Consorzio del Chianti Classico, simply like Montevertine. From selected Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino grapes, it matures for two years in oak barrels. To the eye, it is bright ruby red, with an intense scent of red berries and traces of licorice. Powerful, fresh and enveloping taste.

Antonio Galloni

The 2016 Montevertine will thrill fans of the estate's wines. Freshly cut flowers, dark cherry, plum, mint and spice are some of the many notes that are knit together in a Montevertine that dazzles with nuance and pedigree. The 2016 is not an obvious wine, but it has class and persistence to burn, with tannins that are incredibly finessed for a young wine. Quite simply, the 2016 is one of the very finest Montevertines in recent memory. The 2016 was memorable from cask last year. It is every bit as riveting today. The 2016 spent two years in casks ranging size from 5.5HL to 18HL, with both Slavonian and French oak. Don't miss it.

Now we're talking! The 2016 Montevertine is a chiseled and sharp expression, with flinty notes of pencil lead and black stone. This is an absolutely divine Sangiovese that is bright and vertical. It is delicate in the mouth, something you'd want to pair with some mild, sauteed mushrooms if anything. It's a beautiful wine with a long and extended aging future.
