Jahrgang 2016

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.

"Wow! Terra di Monteverro 2016 has an intense and seductive personality. A vibrant mouth performs on Mediterranean textures rich in freshness. Its wide and energetic perfumes unconditionally envelop the senses of those who drink it. It amazes, enchants. An incisive expression of Maremma."
