Vintage 2008

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.

"Radiating the Tuscan sun from every pore: this accessible ""Maremma"" blend from 2008 is bursting with red berryfruit, aromatic character and spiciness. A wine to be enjoyed with gusto!"
