Jahrgang 2012
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.
"A sunny Terra di Monteverro that radiates energy and maintains its fresh vitality, even for a particularly hot season."
