Montevertine - Montevertine 2004




Ninety percent Sangiovese with small change of Canaiolo and Colorino make up this highly successful blend. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in cement tanks, with aging in large barrels casks for two years.

It is a bright and shining ruby, without failure or compromise.
On the nose there is an explosion of ripe dark fruit with black cherry taking the lead, followed by currant and blackberry.
The bottle slowly opens and gives hints of juniper, mediterranean vegetation, bay with hints of undergrowth, blood and earthy notes, accompanied by signs of leather, black pepper and mace.

On the palate is classic Sangiovese race, marked by great complexity and balance. The taste is elegant and voluptuous. The mouth is an accurate and chiseled eyewitness of the olfactory register. Enviable freshness combined with balmy elegance. The drink is delicious and supported by a restrained acidity. It ends with hints of tobacco and sweet spices.

An astonishing stylistic precision.
