Only one wine ever bears the name of the estate – and there is a reason for this. The Montecucco Rosso Riserva is the centrepiece of production: the wine that most directly expresses the philosophy of the estate. Italian passion meets Swiss precision – is how the Tipa Bertarelli family itself describes its approach. In the glass, this is convincing every year anew. 80% Sangiovese, 10% Ciliegiolo, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon – grapes from vineyards on sandstone, marl and clay at 300 metres. Spontaneous fermentation on natural yeast in temperature-controlled steel tanks, followed by 16 months of ageing: the Sangiovese in 40-hectolitre oak barrels, Ciliegiolo and Cabernet in 500-litre French oak Liters.

Deep ruby red colour. Cherry, blackberry, violet, tobacco, a hint of vanilla and spices on the nose. The flavour is elegant and full-bodied at the same time, with integrated tannins, lively acidity and a long, dry final. A wine that has nothing to prove, as it rightly bears the name of the winery.

"Black plums and blackberries dance on the nose beneath a sky of pepper and wild sage. The palate brings more sweet, dense dark fruit and a bit of chocolate, but then powerful tannins and ferocious acid come marching through with the promise that in time this will resolve into an elegant wine." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2022 Montecucco Rosso Riserva is dark and brooding, with an herbal thrust up front, giving way to nuances of crushed stone and woodland berries. It is peppery and fresh, with silken textures for contrast and a wave of ripe red and black fruit that slowly saturates the palate. A fine layer of minerality lines the palate, mingling with fine tannins and a tart raspberry resonance as the 2022 tapers off long and youthfully tense, leaving an air of lavender to linger." Vinous
