Classic Vermentino from Montecucco: Intensely floral, fruit-driven bouquet with clear notes of hawthorn, green apple, grapefruit and white peach. Fresh and juicy on the palate, the elegant acidity spans a beautiful fan, then salty notes in the well-proportioned final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow. Fragrant aromas of peach and white fruits on the nose, with herbaceous nuances. In the mouth taut, soft, fresh, flowing, juicy with a slightly citrusy finish and some hints of sweet spice." Falstaff

"Lemons, sliced apples, green pears and elderflowers on the nose. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and a clean, focused and crisp palate. Hint of white pepper. Savory finish." James Suckling

Grottolo Rosato shines in rich pink, has a delicate red wine bouquet and a juicy taste of wild berries and peach with pleasantly balanced acidity. Spicy and fresh, compact, with a fresh pull on the palate and a nice finish. SUPERIORE.DE

The dense, well-articulated Tuscan Montecucco Rosso Rigoleto, made predominantly from organically grown Sangiovese grapes, is enormously drinkable. The bouquet beguiles with beautiful aromas of dried plums and dark cherries. Very attractive the purposeful and lively taste. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright yellow organic Vermentino with a small amount of Grechetto. The idea comes from Maurizio Castelli, who also advises the Barberani winery in Umbria. Maurizio Castelli thus creates this wonderful white from the Tuscan coast from traditional, local blends according to historical models and always harvests the grapes quite late. On the nose, a bright scent of apple, pear, flint and some exoticism. Complex and full on the palate, the rich taste is accompanied by an invigorating, fresh acidity until the long final.

"Nuances of roses, broom and exotic fruits; round appearance with polish and well-integrated acidity, mineral saltiness and good length." Vinum

"Intense, bright golden yellow. A beautiful fan unfolds on the nose with aromas of melon, pear, wild herbs and white flowers. Enveloping and soft in the mouth, with integrated wood notes, good persistence and a juicy finish." Falstaff

"Pineapple, dried apple, hazelnut and some orange blossom on the nose. Medium-bodied with a waxy texture and fresh acidity. Ripe and flavorful." James Suckling

Intense ruby red, persistent, fruity bouquet with notes of wild berries, violets, cloves and cinnamon as well as sweet tobacco aromas. Concentrated, fleshy, tannic, dark fruits on the palate. In the finish, the spice tones merge with a pleasant fruity note. All in all, a promising drop at a very attractive price! SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red with purple rims. Shows on the nose with aromas of juicy wild strawberries, damp dark tobacco, opens slightly on graphite. Lively on the palate, nice core of ripe cherry fruit, sturdy and with pressure on the palate, persistent." Falstaff

"This has aromas of cherries, blackberries, mushrooms, cloves, tar and tobacco. It’s medium-bodied with firm tannins. Savory and spicy with a flavorful finish." James Suckling

"The 2018 Rosso Montecucco Riserva is deep and savory in the glass; sage underbrush notes complement a mix of black cherry and plum. This fleshes across the palate with a pleasing mix of silky textures and ripe red fruits. Savory herbal notes come forward and add gravitas toward the close. The 2018 tapers off with a flourish of inner sweetness as licorice and spice slowly fade. I’m impressed by the depth here, considering the difficulties of the vintage. The Riserva is a sexy blend of 80% Sangiovese and 10% Ciliegiolo and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon." Vinous

"Rich yet succulent and open-knit, this red delivers strawberry, cherry, earth, tobacco and licorice flavors allied to a fine structure. Shows excellent balance and length." Wine Spectator

The Riserva Poggio Lombrone is produced in the traditional style of winemaking and organically. Distinctive bouquet of red fruits, roses, violets and sweet spices. Polished, rich texture on the palate, finessed, juicy and with balanced tannins. A great Sangiovese full of character with good storage potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red. In the nose with bacony-spicy aromas, toasted, shows red berry fruit with a little air. Dense on the palate, with tightly woven tannins, slightly earthy-spicy undertones, though also tightly woven, stout, shows character, should definitely be decanted before drinking." Falstaff

"This has an attractive nose of dried flowers, brambleberries, grilled herbs, walnuts, orange zest and spice box. Medium-bodied, firm and structured with an array of savory herb and spice notes. Rich and flavorful finish." James Suckling
