An almost perfect wine with intense purple colour and violet hue.Although initially quite closed the wine is opening up slowly expressing an exciting and complex aroma reminiscent of incense, white pepper, raw meat, fresh blood, sage and basil as well as beetroots, roasted red peppers, sweet blackberries, ripe cherries, black olives and rum marinated fruits. On the palet impressing and multi-layered with powerful characther, yet elegant and fresh. Ripe and expressive tannins, excellent aromatic depth and leght, multi-layered, repeating the flavour of the nose. A great wine with a touch of “Bordeaux” but distinct “italianità” showing a promising potential for further evolution.

Monteverro 2016, Wine Advocate by Robert Parker
Monteverro always delivers excellent results, and this is more true than ever in this balanced and classic vintage. Although the 2016 Monteverro is never a terribly territory-driven wine (it’s hard to place it from Capalbio, Tuscany, per se), it is a beautifully executed rendition based on a classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The bouquet is rich and multidimensional with dark fruit, plum cake, sweet tobacco and sweet baking spice. It is tight and well-assembled, with lasting intensity, yet its power is ultimately reined in by an elegant personality. I tasted bottle 3,121 of 17,929 made.

This is showing a plethora of primary fruit at the moment, such as elderberries and brambleberries. But there’s some real complexity beneath, featuring roasted herbs and nettles. Full-bodied with impressive fruit, but firm tannins to back it up.
Terra di Monteverro 2016, Falstaff
Intensives, dunkel leuchtendes Rubinrot mit zartem Purpur und aufhellendem Rand. In der Nase zunächst deutlich nach Veilchen und Blutorange, dann satte Kirsche und Brombeeren, zart nach Graphit. Dicht im Trunk mit dunkelfruchtigem Spiel, breitet sich schön aus, leicht griffiges Tannin, kompakt in Ansatz und Verlauf.

La bontà del Tinata rappresenta una delle massime espressioni italiane dei vitigni del Rodano.

Il Monteverro 2016 rasenta la perfezione assoluta dei tagli bordolesi da climi caldi che riesce a mantenere la fragranza e l’eleganza unite alla potenza e alla concentrazione.

Plenty of fresh, crushed raspberries and currants with hints of wood. Medium to full body. Fine tannins and a clean finish. Syrah and grenache. Drink or hold.
Tinata 2016, Falstaff
Dichtes Rubinrot-Violett. Intensive und klare Frucht, nach Heidelbeeren und Brombeeren, dahinter nach Koriandersamen und etwas Bergamotte. Am Gaumen viel dichtes Tannin, dunkle Beerenfrucht, wirkt im hinteren Verlauf etwas rustikal.
Monteverro 2016, Falstaff
Sattes, tiefdunkles Rubinrot-Violett. Eröffnet mit satten Noten nach Heidelbeeren und Brombeeren, viel klare Frucht, im Hintergrund dezente harzige Töne. Im Ansatz satte Beerenfrucht, öffnet sich dann mit einem Mantel an feinmaschigem Tannin, geschmeidig, im Finale viel Druck, süßer Schmelz.
