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 RhĂ´ne 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."
