Medium to dark garnet in color, this wine smells of cassis and black cherries with a hint of violets. In the mouth bright violet and cassis flavors mix with the sweetness of new oak, that also brings with it some drying tannins. The fruit is so pure and bright however, that it’s hard not to like this wine, despite its very modern, polished stylings. 14.5% alcohol.

Shows lovely fruit, with black cherry, blackberry and raspberry notes, along with a peppery element that keeps this red tangy and focused. On the elegant side, featuring a lingering finish. Syrah and Grenache. Drink now through 2018. 830 cases made. –BS

Tinata 2010, James Suckling
A young red with blackberry, currant and hints of walnuts on the nose and palate. Full body, with silky tannins and a juicy and berry aftertaste. Refined and subtle. Really stylish. A blend of Syrah and Grenache. Proves that Grenache does so well in Tuscany. Better in 2015.
Tinata 2010, FINE Das Weinmagazin
Opulent nose, intense and with a berry-fruit aroma, of strong Rhône character. Compact on the palate with already smoothened tannins. This is a spicy, muscular, but still elegant Tinata showing the typical freshness of Monteverro wines. A wine of great potential and going to mature further.
Tinata 2010, Wine Advocate by R. Parker
A blend of Syrah (70%) and Grenache, the 2010 Tinata opens to savory and meaty tones of smoked bacon, white pepper and dark fruit or prune. This is a lovely wine with enormous richness and intensity that runs straight through. That generous opulence is supported by soft tannin and a rich, velvety mouthfeel. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2022.
Monteverro 2010, Weinwisser/René Gabriel
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot. Sattes Purpur, Intensives Bouquet; feine Erd- Blutnoten, fleischiger Ansatz, sehr tiefgründig. Im Gaumen fest, markante Struktur und eine deutliche, noch verlangende Adstringenz zeigend. Er hat sich nur sehr langsam entwickelt und könnte noch für eine grosse Überraschung sorgen. hier merkt man den Bordeaux-Blend, aber auch die Maremma Grundlage. Ein grossartiger Wein mit einem Potential für 20 Jahre.
Monteverro 2010, Tastingbook.com
This is one of the promising new wines I have tasted from Italy – ever! Dark and deep colour. Surprisingly wide and open nose with loads of wild blackberies, herbs, liquorice, and floral aromas. Solid and firm. Very powerful, almost too gigantic a wine with sweet tannin and a multilayered texture. The gentle, wide and sweet finish lasted almost forever. in my judgement this is fuller and more intense than the excellent 2009 and has better structure than the outstanding 2008.
