Stunningly fresh nose of blackcurrants, blackberries and elderberries with myriad spice and herbal nuances. Breathtakingly fine tannins and great freshness packed into a sleek frame, the wine gliding over the palate gracefully as it heads out towards eternity. Delicious now, but with enormous aging potential.

The 2016 Montevetrano hits it out of the ballpark with beautiful intensity and lush richness that feels seamless and balanced. This is a celebrated blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Aglianico and 20% Merlot that delivers impressive characteristics that can be traced to each one of those grapes. You get the structure and the cherry-infused softness of the two French grapes with the dark fruit and the flinty crushed stone and spice of the native Aglianico grape. The vines are 20 years old on average and are planted in rich soils with plenty of rocky material. This wine is submitted to a careful 14 months in French barrique. (ML)

Flint and aromatic herbs complicate dark plum and graphite on the nose and in the mouth. Savory herbs and a saline bite emerge on the long, taut finish. A refined version of Montevetrano that should age well. (ID)

Notes

The 2016 Montevetrano Colli di Salerno is one of Italy’s most celebrated modern wines, a benchmark for Campanian reds that seamlessly blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Aglianico. Created by Silvia Imparato in collaboration with legendary oenologist Riccardo Cotarella, Montevetrano is an iconic Super Campanian wine, often compared to top Bordeaux-style blends. Hailing from Salerno’s rolling hills, the vineyard benefits from a unique Mediterranean microclimate, where sea breezes and volcanic soils create an ideal environment for structured, long-lived wines. The 2016 vintage is regarded as one of the finest, offering both power and elegance.
