Jahrgang 2009

TERRA DI MONTEVERRO


A classic cuvée of internationally renowned grape varieties, kissed by the Tuscan sun. The term “second wine” would not do justice to Terra di Monteverro, although it shares its composition with Monteverro, its more famous big brother: it’s associated with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, which age 18 months in French oak casks. A distinctly harmonious wine that combines structure and intensity, a reflection of the fascinating terroir and the character of the region.

"Coherent, deep, with floral tones, delicate: this is Terra 2009's calling card, a wine of great, almost austere, elegance. It's an intellectual wine to be enjoyed meditatively on one's own."
