Piero Sini's video: Monteverro with Matthieu Taunay part 1 038

The winery was founded by the German businessman and wine lover Georg Weber in 2006. After years of searching for a suitable terroir, Georg found in the southern Maremma region (Tuscany) near the small town of Capalbio a place, where he could realize his vision for the production of long-lived red wines after the model Bordeaux. It is arguable that Monteverro is one of the most modern wineries in Italy. At the same time, the best winemakers in the industry were hired to fill top quality in the future. We are talking about Michel Rolland and Matthieu Taunay. Together, the two complement each other like butter on hot toast (November 21. 2011). FEATURED WINES --- MONTEVERRO. CHARDONNAY Country: Italy Wine region: Tuscany Locality: Capalbio Vintage: 2008 Classification: I.G.T. Toscana Variety: Chardonnay Lightly golden colored. The Chardonnay expresses an aromatic and open nose, with flavors of ripe peaches, hazelnuts, almonds, melted butter and hints of lemon peel. Very soft on the palate and definitely a Chardonnay from a hot-climate. It lacks some minerality but offers a balanced acidity. Full-bodied. Medium finish. Promisingly how the next vintages will be. Best now through 2016 (November 2011). 91 PS *** MONTEVERRO. TINATA Country: Italy Wine region: Tuscany Locality: Capalbio Vintage: 2008 Classification: I.G.T. Toscana Variety: Syrah, Grenache Blend of Syrah 70% and Grenache 30%. Deep purple-red colored with a light transparency. Fleshy. Wow! Absolutely seductive nose, which blossoms and shows dark fruits of black cherries, plums, mulberries, licorice, minerals and hints of lavender. On the palate it´s really juicy and spicy. Full-bodied. Graphite. The acidity is refreshing and makes the wine approachable. Supple tannins and you can expect a good finish with a bunch of macchia. Best now through 2018 (November 2011). 93 PS Follow Me!
