Decanter om: Terra di Monteverro

Despite plenty of winter rain refilling the water reserves - including a huge 400mm within 48 hours in November 2012 - the vines were showing the effects of two dry vintages and produced low yields in 2013. The last grapes were in the winery by 4 October. 'The vines were so tired in 2012 they didn't give us much yield,' says enologist Matthieu Taunay, but the low-yields and resulting concentration produced a wine of great quality. Fresh, elegant and floral. it's a fleshy, ripe expression with a balance of concentration and structure with fresh acidity and gorgeous red and black fruits. A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, matured in French oak barrels (60% new) for 20 months. 95/100

Parker om: Terra di Monteverro

The 2013 Terra di Monteverro does a beautiful job of showing its Tuscany personality. The wine is ripe and richly textured with black fruit and balanced spice. Red cherry is followed by Mediterranean herb. It offers sweet tannins and a pleasurable, opulent style. This is Monteverro's lower tier wine. It offers the simple and carefree drinking style that makes it a natural partner to hearty meals. 92/100

Suckling om: Terra di Monteverro

A pretty and savory red with plenty of plum, chocolate and hazelnut character. Hints of fresh herbs. Medium to full body, fresh tannins and acidity. A Bordeaux blend. Drink or hold. 92/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Terra di Monteverro

The entry level 2013 Terra di Monteverro is made from 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot. It has plenty of Cabernet flair in its darker cassis and currants fruits, leafy herbs, tobacco, and spicy, leathery aromas and flavors. These carry to a medium to full-bodied Tuscan red that has a savory, ripe, hedonistic style, good structure, and upwards of a decade of longevity. 92/100

Monteverro

Monteverro ligger i Maremma, kystregionen i Toscana. Det er et projekt af det tyske par Julia og Georg Weber, som efter råd fra ingen ringere end den legendariske Bordeaux-konsulent Michel Rolland valgte det mindre kendte terroir i den sydlige del af Maremma.
