Montevetrano

Wunderschöne Cuvée aus Greco und Fiano. Im Bouquet ein opulentes Potpourri aus Passionsfrucht, Pfirsich und Honigmelone. Am Gaumen nicht zu schwer, sondern eher tänzelnd-elegant mit einer wunderbar frischen Struktur. Komplexer und vollmundiger Abgang. 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

"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

Silvia Imparato löst mit ihrem deliziösen Montevetrano seit Anfang der 90er Jahre einen Sturm der Begierde aus. Der noble Montevetrano ist eines der ersten Geschöpfe Riccardo Cotarellas 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

"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

"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

"The 2016 Montevetrano hits it out of the ballpark with beautiful intensity and lush richness that feels seamless and balanced. This is a celebrated blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Aglianico and 20% Merlot that delivers impressive characteristics that can be traced to each one of those grapes. You get the structure and the cherry-infused softness of the two French grapes with the dark fruit and the flinty crushed stone and spice of the native Aglianico grape. The vines are 20 years old on average and are planted in rich soils with plenty of rocky material. This wine is submitted to a careful 14 months in French barrique." Robert Parker

"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

Montevetrano ist der Wein gewordene Superlativ: Dunkelrubin-violettrote Farbe, komplexer, kraftvoller, sehr eleganter Duft, erfüllt von Brombeeren und Johannisbeeren mit balsamisch-würzigen Noten von Lorbeer und schwarzem Pfeffer. Geschmacklich zeigt sich eine ebensolch elegante Finesse, weit ausholend, überaus fein, voll und warm, mit fester, zugleich aber weicher Tanninstruktur. 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
