  Decanter
  The colour is deep ruby to the rim. This is a wholly complete wine with a balletic balance between the aromatic, flavour, and textural intensity of the wine, of which all factors are dialled up to 11. It has a delicious aromatic profile of currants, tobacco, and cassis, with high-definition tannins that are super pixelated, balanced by flesh plum and black cherry fruits, clove, white pepper, saline minerals, and earth through a grippy acid finish. The winery is in Capalbio, in the Tuscan Maremma, about a mile from the sea as the crow flies. The estate harbours 24.28 hectares of vines on eroded stony soils, much like the round river rocks of the Rhône Valley. The in-house winemaker is Matthieu Taunay, and Jean Hoefliger has served as a consultant since 2008, the first vintage. The winery is a state-of-the-art facility, allowing for stainless steel, concrete egg, and barrel fermentation. The blend for Monteverro always leads with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and in 2011, includes 5% Petit Verdot. The wines are native yeast fermented, half in barrel and half in stainless steel, and aged 24 months in roughly 70-80% new French oak. Sampled during a vertical tasting of 2008-2021 vintages in August 2024."

  Falstaff
  Dichtes, intensives Rubin-Violett. Fleischige, satte Nase, duftet nach Macchia-Gehölz, viel Brombeeren, Cassis, etwas Schokolade und auch Zwetschgen, einladend. Sehr dicht in Ansatz und Verlauf, baut sich mit vielen dichten, zugleich eleganten Tanninen auf, satte und klare dunkle Beerenfrucht, langer Nachhall, feiner Schmelz, zeigt Fülle und Saft."

  A big, rich red with blackberry and loads of toasted oak and coffee. Full body, full throttle. One of the richest Tuscan reds out their. Bordeaux blend. Needs a few years to soften: better in 2016."

  Vinum
  Duftet nach Karamell, Cassis, Unterholz und Macchia. Zeigt Fülle und doch auch Rasse, robuste und doch perfekt integrierte Gerbstoffe, langes, fast opulenter Ausklang mit Würze, Tabak- und reifen Fruchtaromen. Perfekt zu einem Steak."

  Wine Spectator
  Flavors of dark chocolate and spice coat the black cherry core in this rich, oaky red. Dense and muscular, coating the mouth with a dusty feel. Best from 2016 through 2023. 1,250 cases made, 250 cases imported."

  Weinwisser
  Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot. Mitteldunkles Purpur. Eleganter Nasenbeginn, noch frische Fruchtpräsentation, recht intensiv von der Würze her, er dürfte etwas ausladender sein. Im Gaumen saftig, eine feine, elegante Textur zeigend. Ein finessenreicher Wein mit mittlerem Druck."
