…offers plenty of depth and succulence in its up-front fruit and radiant, open-knit personality. Dark red cherry, plums, smoke, tobacco and licorice wrap around the fleshy, radiant finish. Drink this resonant, expressive Maremma red over the next few years. The Terra di Monteverro is a terrific introduction to the wines of the estate.

Polished fruit, tightly wound and crafted, with raspberry, cherry, gravel and wood tones. Chewy tannins. Drink in 2015.

Aromas of bluish-black fruit, exotic spice and purple flowers lead the nose of this structured blend… The firm palate delivers dried black cherry, mint, sage, clove and espresso alongside ample, fine-grained tannins. A licorice note signals the close.

Attractive mineral, savory fruit nose. Palate is quite extracted though well-knit and with lovely weight, dark ripe fruit, and tannin. Super long, and will age.

The Terra di Monteverro combines 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. It boasts aromas of black fruit and spice and is soft and lush on the palate, with dense fruit flavors. It displays impeccable balance with polished tannins and a long finish.

A pure and attractive red with currants, raspberries and minerals. Full body, with silky tannins and a fresh and clean finish. Second wine of Monteverro. 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. Try in 2016. But very pretty now.

The 2010 Terra di Monteverro shows lovely softness and a compact, clean quality of fruit. The blend is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Cabernet Franc with equal parts Merlot and Petit Verdot all aged 20 months in oak. The wine shows excellent integration and harmony with thick richness on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020.

A blend of Bordeaux-based grapes, Terra di Monteverro shows youthful aromas of cherry, blackberry and cassis, backed by savory layers of spice, leather and tobacco. This is rich, smooth and powerful, and it will age for 10 years or more.

There’s a bright cherry flavor front and center in this intense, fruit-filled red. Dense and structured, with impeccable balance and supporting roles from herb and spice notes. The fruit- and spice-filled finish is terrific. Best from 2015 through 2023.

The 2008 Terra di Monteverro is a gorgeous wine layered with sweet dark plums, grilled herbs and spices, all of which flow effortlessly from a radiant, medium-bodied frame. I especially like the way the wine blossoms on the mid-palate and finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. Monteverro is one of the most exciting young properties I have come across in a while.

The vineyards are located in Capalbio, in the province of Grosseto. The estate was founded in 2003 by Georg Weber, a young [German] man inspired by the great wines of Bordeaux. The 2008s are the first releases from Weber’s superstar team, which includes Michel Rolland and Jean Hoefliger of Alpha Omega in Napa Valley. …these are all interesting wines. Prices are high for a debut vintage, but the investment required to make wines at this level is no doubt high as well.  –

This debut vintage shows green spice, black fruit, Greek olive and moist clay. It’s an impressive wine, with a thick and determined style.

This is ripe, jammy and sumptuous, bursting with blackberry, cassis, licorice and both salty and sweet elements. It’s hard to deny this red’s appeal and instant gratification. Best from 2012 through 2017.
