Montevetrano

"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)

"Good full ruby. Subdued nose of red cherry and sweet spices. Then clean and fresh, offering spicy red berry and cherry flavors that are suave and precise and linger nicely on the very smooth finish. Easygoing Aglianico of lovely balance and noteworthy refinement." Ian d'Agata

"Very soft and refined red with plum, berry, sweet-tobacco and light chocolate character. Medium to full body, polished tannins and a savory finish." James Suckling

Montevetrano von Silvia Imparato ist ein berühmter kampanischer Roter aus Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot und Aglianico, der Jahr für Jahr eine Vorbildfunktion für den italienischen Weinbau einnimmt. Er besitzt eine verblüffende Eleganz: Von sattem Rubinrot mit einem leichten violetten Schimmer, erinnert sein Bukett an rote Beeren in balsamischer Hülle, der wunderbare Geschmack mit dem guten Säurerückgrat für den Körper und einer feinen Tanninkomponente. Ein Meisterwerk! (superiore.de)

"Brimming with dark cassis and black cherry fruit, this elegant red offers polished tannins and a finely meshed palate that layers the pure fruit with accents of dried thyme, graphite, rich leather, smoke and loamy earth." Wine Spectator

"This structured yet polished wine, made from a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Aglianico and 20% Merlot, opens with intense aromas of tilled earth, mature black fruit, leather, graphite and spice. The Juicy palate offers fleshy blackberry, black currant, black pepper and mineral alongside silky smooth tannins. Hold for more complexity." Wine Enthusiast
 
"A velvety-textured red with lots of dried-fruit, hazelnut and walnut undertones. Full and flavorful but rich and chocolatey. This is just a baby now. Needs three or four years to soften: better in 2017." James Suckling

"The 2012 Montevetrano has evidently embraced the heat of this warm summer season. This is a dark and exuberant wine, with bold fruit flavors of black cherry, spice, leather and chocolate that pop with intensity from the glass. The effect is seamless, soft and fully integrated. The wine shows a riper taste profile, for sure, that offers pleasure and opulence." Robert Parker

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

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

"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
