2018 Montevecchio Rosso (Case of 12)

Made using lagrein, sangiovese, nero d’Avola and negroamaro, mostly, with various other Italian varieties tossed in. Hand picked, wild fermented and matured in old oak. It’s a winner. It’s a beautiful drinking style. It’s mid weight at most but it lashes spice, chalk and tannin to a mast of red/black cherried fruit. It’s chewy, dry and mouth-puckering, in a good way. In short, there’s much to admire here. 92 points – Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
