Tenuta Monteti Toscana Caburnio 2019
Tenuta Monteti is in Tuscany in the southern part of the Tuscan Maremma, in the surroundings of the small town of Capalbio, on the hills, just behind the hill named Monteti. The Tenuta Monteti is a family owned property.
Displaying brilliant ruby hues, this Tuscan wine opens with compelling aromas of dark berries and sour cherry, layered with subtle herbaceous undertones of sage and thyme alongside warming spice notes. On the palate, the wine reveals a supple, velvety texture with a refined tannic framework that supports a lingering finish marked by leather and wild Mediterranean herbs. The crisp, sustained conclusion exemplifies the wine's elegant balance and complexity.

| The nose is metallic, salty and almost fizzy, like a can of Coke on a fishing boat, but a touch of fruit comes from a latent black cherry element. The palate deftly manages to both stick with that umami saltiness and bolster the fruit notes, while acid crackles around tannins that are polished yet dense, like magnets. |
