Perfect with pasta and veal chop from Porcini. One of the better Italian meals I’ve had. Dry and dark fruit and good finish. Definite food wine. Bourbon trip 2024. — 5 months ago

Paired very nicely with lamb sausage pasta, Veal Milanese, and a red sauce rigatoni. Little bite at the beginning but pairs nicely as it breathes. — 9 months ago

The 2016 Gabbro, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, is one of the most compelling wines I have ever tasted from Montepeloso. In most prior vintages, Gabbro has been rich and concentrated, but the 2016 flows with a sense of total refinement. Wild flowers, herbs, licorice, lavender, graphite and spice add myriad shades of dimension to a core of dark, beautifully resonant fruit. A wine of real gravitas and structure, the 2016 is going to require a number of years to be at its best, but it is stunning, even in the early going. In fact, I am simply blown away by how integrated it already is. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2020)

This looks incredible. However, can’t help comparing it to my last 20 year+ IGT Tuscan Blend post: 2002 Montepeloso Eneo, which was out of this world amazing. Anyhow, this is probably, “every bit as good as Giorgio…” Cheers! — 2 years ago

Spicy, mineral lazed and dense with roasted herbs and great dark fruit flavors. Very clever oak treatment too. Holds a structure for the long haul. A great Tuscan wine! — 8 years ago
