Bright ruby red. On the nose, pretty notes of mint, sea salt, red apples and peaches, some clay. On the palate, a compact fruit core, tightly woven, with slightly earthy tannins, juicy, complex and long; an additional year of bottle ageing has done wonders.

Tinata 2019, Wine Advocate by Robert Parker
A blend of Syrah and Grenache, the Monteverro 2019 Tinata shows wonderful richness and concentration with a full range of spicy and opulent dark fruit aromas. This is a terrific organic wine that can be appreciated most of all thanks to its expertly applied Italian face to these high-performing Rhône varieties. There is a lot of promise in these grapes, especially along this sun-drenched stretch of coastal Tuscany. Tinata is creamy rich and opulent with sweet dark fruit, spice and baking chocolate.
Monteverro Chardonnay 2020, Wine Advocate by Robert Parker
The organic Monteverro 2020 Chardonnay offers a soft and supple character with orchard fruit, quince, pear and mild spice. There is a Burgundian quality to this wine, especially in terms of mouthfeel and texture; however, it reveals its Italian roots thanks to the more electric and vibrant notes of citrus and Mediterranean herb that also appear.
Monteverro Chardonnay 2019, Wine Advocate by Robert Parker
The organic Monteverro 2019 Chardonnay is quite elegant and perhaps more streamlined in this vintage with a direct delivery of creamy fruit aromas. There is preserved lemon, pastry cream and cinnamon, but the wine remains sharply focused throughout. You get a full-bodied white with laser focus and bright acidity to close. Exactly 8,605 bottles were made.
Monteverro 2019, Wine Advocate by Robert Parker
The organic 2019 Monteverro is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot from a vintage that shows natural concentration and richness straight out of the gate. The bouquet is layered with ripe fruit, blackberry jam, oak spice and leather. This is a very oak-heavy wine with a soft finish and hints of sweetness on the close.
Monteverro Chardonnay 2020, James Suckling
Nice, toasty spiciness here with ripe white peaches and mangoes, as well as walnuts and dried summer herbs. Some freshly baked bread crust, too. Full-bodied, creamy and mouth-filing. The clean acidity comes into play nicely with its phenolic and mineral nature. I like the racy cut of spicy herbs in the finish.
Tinata 2019, James Suckling
Lots of dried-meat, pink-peppercorn, ink and smoky character. Medium-to full-bodied with firm, layered tannins that are intense. Lead-pencil and crushed-stone undertones.
