2016 Montevertine, IGT Toscana, Montevertine (6 x Bottle)
Now we're talking! The 2016 Montevertine is a chiseled and sharp expression, with flinty notes of pencil lead and black stone. This is an absolutely divine Sangiovese that is bright and vertical. It is delicate in the mouth, something you'd want to pair with some mild, sautéed mushrooms if anything. It's a beautiful wine with a long and extended aging future.

A wine of vertical depth, power and structure, the 2016 Montevertine is shaping up to be a jewel. In this vintage, the Montevertine is decidedly virile, to the point of being almost imposing. Dark-toned fruit and firm tannins give the wine a mysterious, almost elusive character. Although it is early days, the 2016 is super-impressive. Readers will have to be patient, though, as the 2016 looks like it will be slow to mature.

The 2016 Montevertine is a total stunner. Brisk and powerful in the glass, with tremendous intensity, the Montevertine captures all the freshness of this vintage in spades. A rush of dark cherry, plum, smoke, lavender and licorice builds as this powerful, structured wine shows off its grand personality. The 2016 is an especially dramatic Montevertine. The balance of fruit, structure and acidity is simply compelling.

The 2016 Montevertine will thrill fans of the estate’s wines. Freshly cut flowers, dark cherry, plum, mint and spice are some of the many notes that are knit together in a Montevertine that dazzles with nuance and pedigree. The 2016 is not an obvious wine, but it has class and persistence to burn, with tannins that are incredibly finessed for a young wine. Quite simply, the 2016 is one of the very finest Montevertines in recent memory. The 2016 was memorable from cask last year. It is every bit as riveting today. The 2016 spent two years in casks ranging size from 5.5HL to 18HL, with both Slavonian and French oak. Don’t miss it.
