Tenuta Monteti Description
Monteti takes its name, like the estate, from the hill that protects the vineyard from the strong direct winds of the Mediterranean, guaranteeing us a constant, moderate sea breeze and an ideal microclimate. Composed of Petit Verdot (with percentages that can vary, depending on the vintage, from 40 to 60%), Cabernet Franc (between 20 and 30%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (between 20 and 30%).
Petit Verdot reflects the depth and intimacy of the woods, the strength and longevity of our stones, the proximity of the sea; Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc accompany it with classicism and finesse. With Monteti we seek the personality of the territory, the Maremma, expressed in the complexity and elegance of a great wine.
Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points
The nose starts with a soft-serve swirl of vanilla and milk chocolate, then deepens into the richer sweetness of dark cherry syrup, which is balanced by the crackling sharpness of pepper and graphite. The palate turns tart and bitter, while tannins bend in the hot wind created by a blaze of acid.
Vinous: 89 Points
The 2018 Caburnio is a tasty entry-level offering from Tenuta Monteti. Wild cherry, leather, tobacco, smoke and mocha all flesh out. Pretty floral accents lift the finish nicely. This succulent, open-knit Maremma red offers a good bit of immediacy and near-term appeal.
