Winemaker Notes
Terra di Monteverro is a Cuvée with abundant aromas of fresh herbs, such as thyme and rosemary, balanced by black currants and sour cherry. Toasted notes of tobacco are accented by subtle mineral nuances. A velvety wine bursting with fresh black fruit on the entrance, followed by lingering touches of dark chocolate and cedar.
Blend: 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot

Blueberries, eldeberries, violets and Chinese spices make for a very pretty nose. Medium body, tightly worked tannins and a deliciously spicy and mineral finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Terra di Monteverro is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, all aged in barrique (with 60% new oak) for 20 months. Each parcel is fermented separately in stainless steel before the blend is produced. Offering a slightly more direct and approachable style, this wine delivers the extra richness and density that you can expect of this beautifully warm and luminous vintage. The fruit is dark and rich with black currant and dried plum, backed by exotic spice and toast.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
