Description
Monte Antico Rosso IGT is a distinguished Super Tuscan wine that embodies the rich heritage of Tuscany. Crafted from a blend of 85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Merlot, this wine reflects the region’s commitment to quality and tradition. The grapes are carefully selected and fermented in oak barrels, followed by aging in a combination of 80% Slavonian barrels and 20% barriques, with at least 10-20% new French barriques, for one year, and then further aged in the bottle before release . This meticulous process imparts a complex character to the wine, featuring a deep ruby hue with garnet reflections. The nose is greeted with an elegant bouquet of leather, black cherries, licorice, and plums. The palate is medium to full-bodied, offering rich flavors of ripe red fruit, subtle notes of vanilla and violet, and a goût de terroir that speaks to its origin . The soft tannins and silky texture provide a harmonious balance, leading to a well-rounded, gentle finish. Monte Antico Rosso IGT is versatile, pairing excellently with a variety of dishes, and stands as a testament to the excellence of Tuscan winemaking.
