Poured into a decanter about two hours before service; no formal notes. The 2018 Montevertine is a bit of a show-off with bright, flashy ripened cherries, porchini, red flowers, dusty earth and orange peel. Significant structure should allow for a hearty life. The finish is full of class. This has to be the aspiration of every Chianti Classico.

Delicate with a backbone of sour cherry and balsamic from start to finish. Dusty tannins and Starting to just develop secondary character

Deep Ruby with aromas of fresh berry fruits, floral and slight spicy notes. Blend of 90% Sangiovese with the rest Canaiolo and Colorino. On the palate Cherry and Cranberry flavors, well balanced with acidity and fine tannins. The finish is long ending with earthy smoky minerality. Tasting Sample. Nice!!

Great structure and manages to provide physiological ripe tannins at fairly low Brix. Juicy acidity creates a slender drinking experience. Through 2025+

One of the very few Tuscans I reliably enjoy...love the high toned, exuberant cherry and hibiscus tinged with fresh herbs. A fresh, aromatic and lively take on Sangiovese. A “Super Tuscan” that is actually worthy of the title. Maybe I should give the rest of the region more of a chance...*thinks*...naahhhh

All hail the Super Tuscans that celebrate Sangiovese. "Deep lightness." This is ripe but restrained. Fresh hibiscus, fresh herbs, juicy and fresh red and black fruit with medium plus tannins that are well integrated. This finishes with bright acid and a strong impression of volcanic rock. Love this producer.
