Vintage 2018
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.
The 2018 vintage of this wine is perfect to be appreciated along with someone: freshness, verticality and lasting. These are the key ingredients for a special evening with the Maremmaen scents.
