Note di degustazione
The 2012 Monteverro is a dark brick/red color and leads with mature aromas of worn leather, tobacco, cigar box, and spiced red plum. The palate retains good tension and energy, with a ripe spine of acidity, chalky tannins, and a savory finish. While it's likely at the height of its maturity, it should have another several years of prime drinking. Drink 2025-2030. Bottle 12165/17127.

The 2012 Monteverro is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. This is a gorgeous wines that excels on many fronts including extraction, intensity and richness. The bouquet opens to aromas of dark berry and spice, with lingering tones of tobacco, resin and blackberry jam. The 2012 vintage was a warm one (similar to 2011) on the Tuscan Coast. As a result, this edition is slightly less nuanced compared to cooler vintages like 2008 and 2010. This is a beautiful option if you choose to drink the wine now or hold it for later.
The flagship 2012 Monteverro is quite expressive from the get-go. Mocha, plums, espresso, sweet herbs and licorice all open up nicely. Dark, pliant and expressive, the 2012 offers plenty of Maremma generosity in a mid-weight, polished style that holds considerable appeal. This is another strong showing from the team at Monteverro.
