Vintage 2015

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.

"Small and concentrated berries gave dense aromas in 2015 vintage. It gave life to a wine that is pure ruby velvet, with waves of berries and spices alternating with notes of chocolate and tobacco. A complex and intriguing Monteverro that reveal a perfect vintage"
