Tenuta Monteti 'Monteti' Toscana IGT 2015 750ml

A good vintage, with a mild Winter and a normally wet Spring. The phenological stages of the vines were textbook from budding to veraison. Summer was hot but not torrid, in fact, it was refreshed by some showers. The harvest of the varieties dedicated to Monteti started the 12th of September with the Cabernet Franc and ended the 5th of October with the last Petiti Verdot. It was a linear harvest – with a few short storms immediately dried by good north winds – which allowed us to pick healthy grapes at a perfect stage of maturation.

Of a deep and shiny ruby red, it offers to the nose immediate aromas of blackberry, blueberry, plum, peony, caramel and coffee. The mouth picks up the baton and the wine opens up as full, creamy, vibrant, with a dense and delicate tannin weave elegantly leading to the final upswing.
