Montevetrano

Tiefes Purpur-Rubin. Traubige, ausdrucksstarke Fruchtaromen in der opulenten Nase. Am Gaumen dann raffiniert: Aromen von Kräutern, süßen Gewürzen und Blaubeernektar werden von einem soliden Tanningerüst und einer lebendigen, pfeffrigen Säure unterstützt. Wunderbar langer, saftiger Abgang. Tolles Reifepotenzial! SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2018 Rosso Core impresses with its mix of dark rich fruits, exotic spices, crushed ashen stone and peppery herbs. This is unexpectedly soft and lifted in feel, with a pure display of ripe plum complemented by nuances of sage and rosy inner florals that form toward the close. A layer of fine tannin dries the expression through the finale, as echoes of licorice and black currants linger. The 2018 Core, a varietal Aglianico, could use a short stay in the cellar to unwind. That said, this is a very lifted and cool-toned expression that will perform best over the short term." Vinous

"Super balance to this intense red with exquisite spice to the mixed berries on the nose, following through to a full body with fine, well-integrated tannins, succulent fruit and a long, elegant and flavorful finish. All in place and lovely to drink now, but best from 2023." James Suckling

"Heute braucht man leichtere Weine, sie passen besser zu unserem hektischen Leben", meint die kluge Silvia Imparato. Und so feiern wir ihren Zweitwein - einen Aglianico mit frischem Fruchtduft und lebendigem Geschmack, elegant und komplex ohne jede Spur von Opulenz. Wie es uns gefällt! SUPERIORE.DE

"Extremely well crafted with ultra-fine tannins and beautiful and subtle aromas and flavors of black fruit, black pepper and white pepper. Medium to full body. Polished and so enjoyable to taste. Can age beautifully." James Suckling

"Very deep purple-ruby; this is very dark for an Aglianico wine. Delicate on the nose and remarkably light on its feet, offering sweet blueberry, red cherry, sweet spice and floral flavors, similar to the aromas, that linger impressively on the juicy, long, clean finish. A knockout wine, and the best Aglianico ever from Montevetrano." Vinous

Montevetranos "Zweitwein" zeigt wie so oft die große Klasse des Weinguts von Silvia Imparato. Tolle Aglianico-Nase nach blauen Blüten, Wald- und Brombeeren und Schwarzkirsche. Im Trunk seidig und kräftig zu gleich, sehr tief und kräuterig, mit einer feinen mineralischen Ader und einem wohlproportionierten Tannin. Die bereits vorhandene Eleganz wird mit weiterer Reife noch zunehmen. Sehr gelungen! SUPERIORE.DE

"Sweet violet florals lift effortlessly from the 2017 Montevetrano Core, followed by white smoke, crushed blackberry, and cherry, as dark earth tones evolve. On the palate, silky textures are complemented by polished black fruits, as savory herbs and minerals slowly saturate the senses. The finish is medium in length, resonating on mineral-laden dark fruits and hints of spice, with a coating of fine tannin providing grip. I find myself craving more depth here, yet this is wonderfully balanced and already very easy to like." Vinous

"The Montevetrano 2017 Aglianico Core reveals a dark and velvety appearance with pretty color saturation. Core is a genuine and honest wine that does a very nice job of portraying the basics of Aglianico. You get the power and structure of the fruit, as well as the grape's dark and savory aromas of blackberry, cassis and dark cherry. The wine also promises freshness and accessibility. Try this with a montanara fritta, a fried, thick mini-pizza from Naples stuffed with provolone, salami and tomato sauce." Robert Parker

"A full-bodied and structured red with spice, black-pepper and bark undertones to the cherries and dried fruit. Some dried earth, too. Extremely powerful. Try after 2023." James Suckling

Silvia Imparatos nobler Montevetrano ist eines der ersten Geschöpfe des berühmten "fliegenden Önologen" Riccardo Cotarella und sicher auch bis heute eines seiner wichtigsten. Dunkel rubinrot, erfüllt von Kirsch- und Brombeeraromen mit einem Hauch von Vanille und Tabak. Am Gaumen präsentiert er sich würzig, mit eleganten Tanninen, guter Struktur und außerordentlichem unverwechselbaren Nachhall. SUPERIORE.DE

"Silvia Imparato is a leading lady of Campania wine. I visited her a few years back and have such a pleasant memory of her home, with beams of sunlight hitting the bright red tomatoes, lemons and basil plants sitting on the handmade ceramic tiles of her rustic kitchen countertop. Her elegant Montevetrano 2017 Montevetrano is a blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with Aglianico and Merlot. From a hot and dry vintage, this expression shows rich concentration with black fruit, blackberry and cherry confit. Those dark fruit tones are nicely supplemented by spice and lightly cured tobacco." Robert Parker

"In the 2017 Montevetrano (Colli di Salerno)I find depths of crushed blue and blackberries, laced with minerals, sweet exotic spices, and cocoa powder, as dark, alluring floral tones pull me closer to the glass, offset by a hint of fresh mint leaf. It floods the palate with silky textures and cool-toned black fruits, as brisk acids carry the 2017 Montevetrano effortlessly across the senses, leaving a coating of savory spice, minerals, and fine tannin. The finish is long and structured, clenching the palate with youthful grip, as hints of black fruits fade to reveal echoes of violet florals. There’s so much density on the palate, yet it is somehow lifted, seamless, and precise, with all the raw ingredients needed to evolve in the cellar over the next ten to twenty years. Gorgeous." Vinous

"Aromas and flavors of blackberries and blueberries with licorice and black-pepper. Medium to full body. Chewy, yet refined and balance. Another two or three years of bottle age would bring it more together." James Suckling

Silvia Imparatos nobler Montevetrano ist eines der ersten Geschöpfe Riccardo Cotarellas und sicher auch bis heute eines seiner wichtigsten. Tiefes Rubinrot mit violetten Reflexen. Reiche Aromen von dunklen Pflaumen, schwarzen Johannisbeeren, Zedernholz, Graphit und Mineralien in der fesselnden Nase. Im Trunk sauber, frisch, saftig und mit einer einnehmenden, raffinierten Textur. Im langen, anmutigen und vielschichtigen Abgang finden sich Lakritz- und Veilchenaromen. Ein sehr vielversprechender, noch junger Montevetrano mit großer Zukunft! SUPERIORE.DE

"There’s a decidedly floral and spicy character to the 2018 Montevetrano (Colli di Salerno) that captivates the senses and pulls you close to the glass. Its fruit is more lifted and high-toned than usual, as blackberries mix with currants and crushed violets. A wave of stone dust and minerals translates directly from the nose to the palate, as its initially-silky textures are quickly firmed up by a core of strict acidity and grippy tannins that settle in toward the close. This is incredibly long but also achingly structured, currently holding back much of its fruit, and instead showing inner rose tones and hints of black tea. The 2018 will require a number of years to fully blossom; yet once it does, you can expect a very pretty and perfumed vintage of Montevetrano." Vinous

"A suave, full-bodied red, with plush tannins firming the rich blackberry coulis and blueberry fruit. It's layered and harmonious, with hints of bay leaf, graphite and mineral unfurling on the palate and through to the racy finish." Wine Spectator

"A red with plum and cherry character with hints of bark, mushroom and clove. It’s full-bodied with layers of fruit and a long, flavorful finish. Needs time to soften, but structured and beautiful. Such finesse with strength. Really impressive. Try after 2022." James Suckling

Authentisches Mittelmeerbouquet, in dem auf frische Heilkräuter Anklänge an Myrrhe und Muskatnussnoten folgen. Die Frucht entwickelt am Gaumen ihre ganze Pracht, einnehmend und mineralisch, lang bis ins Finale, kräftig spürbares Tannin. Athletisch, temperamentvoll, leidenschaftlich. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rekordhalter unserer drei Gläser: Montevetrano. Er hat praktisch ein Abo auf die Höchstprämie. ... heute eher ein Klassiker als ein Etikett der Avantgarde." Gambero Rosso 2011

"The 2008 Montevetrano is almost impossibly young at this stage. Loaded with the essence of black cherry liqueur, minerals and spices, the wine conquers the palate with layers of richly structured fruit. The 2008 is full of raw, vinous energy, yet it is possible to get a sense of the brilliant future that lies ahead from the way the wine continues to develop beautifully in the glass. Today the 2008 looks to be a fabulous Montevetrano, but my sense is it is first headed for a period of stubbornness before it emerges once again."  Robert Parker
