2015 | Monteverro | Monteverro Toscana IGT

On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/fleshy cassis, fleshy/juicy cherry and small notes of aromatic herbs associated with small touches of liquorice, cherry pits/griotte and subtle hints of cocoa, Timut pepper, nutmeg/spices and a very discreet hint of chocolate. Tannins are precise and elegant.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2015 Monteverro comes out with gangbuster intensity and richness, keeping the wine very much in line with our expectations of this profound and exuberant vintage. I tasted bottle number 3,505 of 17,821 made. The estate's flagship wine is composed of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot all aged in oak (with 80% new barrique) for two years. This wine is lavishly layered with dark fruit, dried cherry, tar, smoke and exotic spice. Those aromas just jump right out at you, never letting up in intensity or complexity.

• James Suckling: Wow. The nose here is alive with oyster shell, iodine, crushed stones, lavender, freshly picked blackcurrants, licorice and dried sage and thyme. Full-bodied and very deeply flavored, but the tannins are beautifully polished and dialed-in. The juxtaposition between sweet and sour flavors and umami nuances is enough to take anyone’s breath away.

Producer Information

Monteverro is a wine producer based in the southern Tuscan village of Capalbio, in Maremma. The estate is best known for its Super Tuscan wines, including its flagship wine, Monteverro, which is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Founder Georg Weber established the estate's vineyards in 2004 and produced the inaugural vintage four years later in 2008. Today, the vineyards extend over an area of 35 hectares (86 acres), planted to Syrah, Grenache, Sangiovese, Chardonnay and Vermentino, as well as the Bordeaux red grape varieties. The vines occupy stony red clay soils that are rich in minerals and, when combined with the favorable coastal location, enjoy ideal growing conditions. Consulting oenologist Michel Rolland oversees the winemaking of the estate's six wines: Monteverro, Terra di Monteverro, Tinata and Verruzzo, as well as varietal Chardonnay and Vermentino wines. Both the Monteverro and the Terra di Monteverro (the second wine) are made from similar quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The Verruzzo is a blend of Bordeaux red grapes with smaller quantities of Sangiovese, while Dyed is a blend of Syrah and Grenache. The two white wines are both aged on their lees with only light filtration.
