This is precisely structured with racy tannins that are fine integrated and well formed. It?s medium-bodied so long and intense. Classic personality. Cool at the finish because of a cool and late growing season. Give it three or four years to soften but it?s very impressive now. 07/24

Made with mostly Sangiovese plus tiny parts Canaiolo and Colorino the 2021 Montevertine reveals a very tight textural approach with pinpoint aromas of blue currant iris root and red rose. The wine takes a moment or two to open but it does succeed in showing its full bouquet in little time. Montevertine remains elegantly tight and streamlined in terms of mouthfeel. This is a 33000-bottle release. Martino Manetti and his team have recently leased an additional hectare of Sangiovese vines in a lost little corner of Tuscany called Docciole. The wines are all organic. Published: Jul 25 2024

The 2021 Montevertine is a huge potent wine. Dark rich and explosive the 2021 possesses tremendous depth maybe too much. Readers will have to be patient. The inclusion of new vineyards in the Docciole sector have altered Montevertine; it?s now a darker more virile wine from mostly younger vines in relative terms. In bottle I find it a bit stylistically different from the house style. - Antonio Galloni on June 2024 Martino Manetti presented some of the most intriguing 2021s and 2022s I tasted for this report. At this stage the 2022s come across as more typical for the estate than the 2021s which are decidedly potent wines. ?We had more rain and more even maturation in 2021 than we did in 2022 where ripening took place later. In 2022 the warm dry season delayed ripening. Harvest started on October 5 which is late by today?s standards? Martino Manetti commented. ?The challenge in 2021 was in taming the huge tannins? added Paolo Salvi the estate?s longtime consulting oenologist.
