Vintage 2014
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.
"From a cool year, Monteverro 2014 leaves the expressiveness of its fruit to one side to reveal itself in all the elegant glory of its surroundings: Mediterranean maquis and rough seas. Its palate is pure silk, and its tannic structure both present and pleasant."
