Monte Antico 2005 Supremus Red (Toscana)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $28
Coffee and chocolate open the nose of this Tuscan blend of Sangiovese and 15% Merlot. The wine is inky and well concentrated with thick, chewy density and plump cherry notes. It represents a straightforward combination of fruit and spice and would pair with most meat and pasta dishes.  — M.L.  (3/1/2010)

From the excellent 2007 vintage, Monte Antico (a blend of 85% Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) offers easy spice aromas of clove and cinnamon followed by a fresh dose of cherry fruit.  — M.L.  (10/1/2011)

  • Best Buy
  1. $12
Here’s a cheerful and well-priced blend of Sangiovese (85%), Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with good density and concentration backed by aromas of spice, blackberry and wet earth. The wine (packaged in a screw cap bottle which is rare to see on red wines from Italy) is fresh and clean and imparts fresh berry flavors.  — M.L.  (11/1/2009)

Monte Antico 2003 Rosso Sangiovese (Toscana)

  1. $12
Upright, with notes of cinnamon candy on a nose dominated by bright red fruit. Quite clean and free flowing, with snappy strawberry and cherry flavors resting comfortably on a fresh, acid-driven palate. The opposite of dead weight; this is a lively wine.  — M.S.  (9/1/2006)

A value stalwart, this 100% Sangiovese blends leather, spice and tobacco with sour cherries on a lithe frame. Finishes with cinnamon, clove and orange-peel notes.  — W.E.  (10/1/2001)

Monte Antico 2000 Red (Toscana)

  • Best Buy
  1. $8
This by-the-glass performer is spicy and decent, with some oak-driven maple aromas coming up late. It’s more or less a simple fruit ball that delivers ample raspberry and cherry flavors. Spice on the finish provides some needed character. —M.S.  — M.S.  (12/31/2002)
