Montevetrano

Beautiful cuvée of Greco and Fiano. In the bouquet an opulent potpourri of passion fruit, peach and honeydew melon. On the palate not too heavy, but rather dancing and elegant with a wonderfully fresh structure. Complex and full-bodied finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"This blend of equal parts Fiano and Greco shows a really tight core with lots of orchard fruit, honey, almond, pear and peach cobbler. Although the 2017 Core Bianco is a simple wine, it offers a complete deal with everything you should look for in an easy-drinking Campania white. There are some pretty notes of crushed mineral as well. Fruit comes from a vineyard with limestone soil located some 400 meters above sea level." Robert Parker

"Today we need lighter wines, they fit better to our hectic life", says the clever Silvia Imparato. And so we celebrate their second wine - an Aglianico with a fresh fruity scent and lively taste, elegant and complex without any trace of opulence. How we like it! SUPERIORE.DE

Montevetrano is the wine that has become superlative: dark ruby-violet-red color, complex, powerful, very elegant fragrance, full of blackberries and currants with balsamic-spicy notes of laurel and black pepper. The taste is as elegant as the finesse, wide, extremely fine, full and warm, with a firm but at the same time soft tannin structure. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is a famous red that delivers depth and finesse. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a wonderful finish of blackberry, cocoa and spices including black peppercorns. One of the best Montevetranos in years." James Suckling

"Intense aromas of red-skinned berry, fragrant blue flower, Oriental spice and a whiff of graphite take center stage. The taut, chewy palate doles out Marasca cherry, blackberry, anise, mocha and a peppery note alongside bright acidity and polished, fine-grained tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2013 Montevetrano was a little shut down when I tasted it. This blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 30% Aglianico starts off slowly but it does reach full speed with a few quick swirls of the glass. Some 30,000 bottles were made. The wine opens to a dark garnet color with thick concentration of dark pigments. The bouquet needs a little patience before it shows a complete bouquet of rose, spice, dark chocolate and dried blackberry aromas." Robert Parker

Silvia Imparato with her delicious Montevetrano has been triggering a storm of desire since the early 90s. The noble Montevetrano is one of Riccardo Cotarella's first creatures and certainly one of his most important to this day. Dark ruby red, full of cherry and blackberry aromas with hints of vanilla and tobacco. On the palate it presents itself spicy, with elegant tannins, good structure and extraordinary unmistakable aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Good bright ruby. Enticing primary aromas of blueberry, flint, violet, and cocoa, plus a hint of sexy cedar. Sweet, dense and primary on the palate, showing very refined floral lift and intense minerality to the dense red plum and cassis flavors. Finishes fresh, juicy and gripping, featuring a strong saline nuance, substantial fine-grained tannins and terrific length. Truly outstanding wine in the context of the year." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

"This is really voluptuous with dried-berry, light jam, menthol and spice character. Full to medium body, velvety tannins and a juicy and fruity finish. Spearmint at the end. A beauty now but will improve nicely with bottle age." James Suckling

"Deep purple-ruby. Rich aromas of dark plum, black currant, cedar, graphite and minerals on the captivating nose. Then clean, fresh and juicy, offering flavors similar to the aromas and an extremely refined mouthfeel. Licorice and violet elements feature on the long, graceful, multilayered finish. Very promising young Montevetrano." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

"I love the polish and complexity to this red. It delivers subtle currant, dried herb and spice character as well as a full body that is tight and focused. Such polished tannins. It goes on for minutes. One of the best vintages in years!" James Suckling

"Fine-grained tannins sculpt crushed black cherry and cassis fruit flavors as they ripple on the palate of this harmonious, medium- to full-bodied red. Fresh and focused, with accents of black tea leaf, graphite and spice that gain momentum on the minerally finish." Wine Spectator

"Good full ruby-purple. Flint and aromatic herbs complicate dark plum and graphite on the nose and in the mouth. Savory herbs and a saline bite emerge on the long, taut finish. A refined version of Montevetrano that should age well." VINOUS

"Stunningly fresh nose of blackcurrants, blackberries and elderberries with myriad spice and herbal nuances. Breathtakingly fine tannins and great freshness packed into a sleek frame, the wine gliding over the palate gracefully as it heads out towards eternity. Delicious now, but with enormous aging potential." James Suckling
