James Suckling
Classy wine, perfumed and traditional. There is an elegant bouquet of citrus aromas, red cherries and fresh blood oranges, intense licorice stick, cedar wood whiffs, wax and graphite minerality. Full-bodied, sleek tannins with refreshing acidity, tight-knit structure and cherry stone depth of flavors enhanced by licorice elegance. Elegant with grace. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Montevertine 2023 Montevertine is a blend of 90% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo and 5% Colorino. This is a very pretty and elegant wine with a bright, vertical delivery and delicate aromas of blue flower, violet and small berry fruit. The wine remains fine and graceful throughout, showing lovely precision and freshness. With vinification and aging in cement and large oak casks.
