Jahrgang 2014

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.

Coming from a cool year, Terra di Monteverro 2014 is an example of how meticulous care in vinification can lead to stellar results even when the weather isn't really on our side."
