This massive super Tuscan blend based mostly on Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon is thick, inky dark in color and particularly intense this vintage. Black cherry, spice, plum cake and leather are protagonists of the bouquet. The mouthfeel is smooth and incredibly rich.

This thick, juicy, inky wine (with a large component of Petit Verdot) would pair with aged cheese or pecorino. The wine is still young (let it age five more years) with firm, sticky tannins and loads of blackberry and plum cake on the long finish.

The picturesque hilltop hamlet of Capalbio in southern Tuscany is the site of some exciting new wines. Tenuta Monteti is a leader in the area and this extracted blend shows tones of espresso, dark fruit, tobacco and spice. Drink in two or three years.
