At last we will stock of this luscious beauty. This is one of those rare modern Italian finds that amaze you with what it delivers for the money. From the southern Tuscan zone of Maremma. This is a blend of 40% cabernet, 40% merlot, 15% alicante, 5% cabernet franc. A new project with superstar consultant Carlo Ferrini on board.
" Fresh and focused flavors of black cherry, black currant and
herbs that border on jammy, but never cross the line. Supple and smooth, offering ripe tannins and bright acidity for structure, with excellent length." 92/100 Wine Spectator
Tenuta Monteti’s Caburnio is one of the best values in Italian wine today, and the 2007 is another strong effort. Sweet roasted coffee beans, mocha, grilled herbs and dark red fruit are woven in a gorgeous fabric of considerable elegance. "The Caburnio possesses striking mid-palate presence and a long, harmonious finish. Caburnio is 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Alicante Bouschet and 20% Merlot aged in equal parts steel and French oak, most of it neutral. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019."91 Parker
