Vintage 2010
MONTEVERRO
The house flagship wine is the finest expression of the Capalbio terroir; this cuvée of
Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot combines the best locations of our winery. Uncompromising quality control begins in the vineyard with patient care of the vines, rigorous selection during the harvest, and meticulous attention to the terroir during cuveéing. Careful work in the cellar enhances Nature’s gifts.
Production quantities are naturally limited; Monteverro’s velvety texture, distinctive complexity, and striking, multi-faceted bouquet are the result of each individual phase of the production process.
"The year 2010 brings together power and style, structure and freshness, aromatic complexity and persistence. A dense, chewy Monteverro that improves year after year, a true ""must-cellar'!"
