Tenuta Monteti 'Monteti' 2019

The Tenuta Monteti 'Monteti' 2019 is a monumental, sophisticated, and deeply complex Super Tuscan red wine from an exceptional growing season. It pours a deep garnet-red color with intense violet reflections in the glass. The bouquet releases mysterious, savory aromas of black cherry, dark forest fruits, and juniper berries, beautifully layered with complex notes of cedar wood, cigar box, palo santo, graphite, and perfumed violets. On the palate, this full-bodied, low-yield blend is remarkably dense, juicy, and focused, enveloping the mouth with a rich fruit core and balsam undertones that reflect the steady, even ripening conditions of the 2019 vintage. Matured meticulously for 18 months in fine French oak (70% new) and cellared in the bottle for an additional 24 months without fining or filtering, its structural depth is sustained by a remarkable freshness and tightly woven, sparkling tannins that carry into a long, harmonious, and savory finish.

Food Pairing: This powerful, well-structured blend pairs beautifully with a wide range of premium or rustic culinary choices, including slow-cooked wild boar ragù over thick pasta, prime cuts of grilled ribeye steak with herbed butter, pan-seared veal chops, venison stew, and aged artisanal cheeses like Pecorino Toscano.
