🍷🍷🍷 GAMBERO ROSSO, I Vini d’Italia 2019
Lo stile dei vini, come per altro impone il clima della zona, è incentrato su forza e intensità, tanto che il loro impatto è talvolta esplosivo. Il tempo provvede però a ricamare una silhouette più sfumata e dinamica. Trova una delle sue versioni migliori il Caburnio ’14, da uve Cabernet Sauvignon, Alicante Bouschet e Merlot, mettendo in rilievo profumi freschi e fruttati e bocca sapida, di grande piacevolezza.
▼▼▼▼ BIBENDA 2019
Brilliant ruby red. Intense and rich, characterized by merry notes of wild berries, cherry, myrtle, noble vegetal hints, loam, tobacco, licorice. Freshness and a good glycerin dose, are the pass to a well orchestrated mouth with sweet tannins.

Ruby, garnet red. At the nose offers notes of wild cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry, with a recall to the Mediterranean scrub fragrancies, spices and slightly balsamic hints. Clean and linear, structured, it leans on the palate with present but fine tannins. Good persistency.

91/100 THE WINE ADVOCATE, 30 novembre – Monica Larner
A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 10% Alicante Bouschet, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc, the 2013 Caburnio is a dark and compelling expression from the Tuscan Coast. The bouquet is vertical and bright with nicely delineated tones of candied cherry, kirsch or crème de cassis. The wine shows distictive elegance, and that comes through very nicely in this balanced vintage. This is an excellent value option.
91/100 FALSTAFF, Ottobre 2017 – Othmar Kiem.
Shiny ruby red, with pleasant notes of cassis, blackberries, and undergrowth. Very enveloping and round in the palate, shows beautiful and mature berries, opens up with clean tannins, sweet and fine fruity notes in the finale.

2010
89/100 VINOUS, A. Galloni, Settembre 2014
The 2010 Caburnio is one of the best Maremma wines in its price range. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Alicante Bouschet and Merlot, the 2010 is warm, supple and resonant from start to finish. Mocha, espresso, plums, sweet spices and savory herbs bristle on the palate in this very pretty, entry-level wine from Monteti. Drinking window: 2014-2020.
89/100 WINE SPECTATOR, February 2014
An aromatic version, with flavors of flowers, black currant, raspberry and briar backed by burly tannins. On the wild side, showing personality and length. Should pair well with grilled lamb. Cabernet Sauvignon, Alicante Bouschet, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2015 through 2021.
2009
91/100 THE WINE ADVOCATE DI ROBERT PARKER, Agosto 2013, M. Larner.
The 2009 Caburnio (65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Alicante Bouschet and 10% Merlot) is a full and generous wine with layers of red cherry, light spice and leather that are delivered in quick succession. Sharp freshness cuts to the back of the palate and gives this wine an incredibly vibrant feel. The menthol reinforces those sensations and peppermint-like tones also present here. At this price, this is an unbelievable steal. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2022.
89/100 VINOUS – ANTONIO GALLONI, August 2013
The 2009 Caburnio comes across as a bit slender in this vintage, with less of the opulence of the very best years, when it has challenged some of the region’s higher priced bottlings. A solid second wine, the 2009 shows good depth and balance, although some slightly green, herbal notes are a bit of a distraction.

92/100 THE WINE ADVOCATE DI ROBERT PARKER, Giugno 2012, A. Galloni
The 2008 Caburnio is one of the very best wines from Tuscany in its price range. Espresso, mocha, sweet grilled herbs and plums wrap around the palate in this deep, inviting wine. Hints of licorice, crushed flowers, tobacco and new leather add complexity on the striking, nuanced finish. Caburnio is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Alicante-Bouschet and 20% Merlot aged partly in oak and partly in steel. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018.

This year the winery presents both the wines: next to the always reliable Caburnio there is the real jewel, Monteti, a red Bordeaux-style wine, full bodied and very fascinating; made with a modern concept but without the common characteristics that make similar all the wines of the same typology.
▼▼▼ AIS – GUIDA DUEMILAVINI
An intense ruby colour invites to taste the wine. Perfumes of mature fruit, blackberry and plum. A high acidity gives the wine a freshness that is balanced with the alcohol and young tannins. Good persistence. The wine is aged separately before the final blend, half of the varieties age in stainless steel vats, and the other half age in two years old oak barrels and tonneaux.

Tenuta Monteti’s Caburnio is one of the best value in Italian wine today, and the 2007 is another strong effort. Sweet roasted coffee beans, mocha, grilled herbs and dark red fruit are woven in a gorgious fabric of considerable elegance.

The 2006 Caburnio is a big, boisterous wine that captures the essence of this important Tuscan vintage. Blackberries, grilled herbs, spices, menthol and cassis are some of the nuances that come together in the glass with tons of Maremma character. This is a fabulous wine for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2016. Tenuta Monteti is doing some very interesting things in Maremma.

The 2005 Caburnio reveals a brighter shade of red fruit and higher-toned aromatics than the decidedly virile 2006. Red raspberries, flowers, minerals, scorched earth and spices emerge on a mid-weight frame. In keeping with the style of the vintage the tannins are a touch firm, but that is a relatively small critique for a wine at this price point. This, too, is another fabulous effort.

A deep rich ruby violet colour, the bouquet presents itself initially with slightly smoky notes, a bit of tar and then an abundance of black currants. The approach to the palate is juicy, opening up then with wonderful firmly structured tannins, deeply profound. A long finish.
▼▼▼ GAMBERO ROSSO
Extraordinary debut for Paolo Baratta’s winery, which has a 25 hectare vineyard. The Monteti 2004, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc with a small part of Alicante and Merlot, reached the final stage of the three glasses competition, proving to be a complex and very fascinating wine. Caburnio 2004 is a very pleasant wine to drink, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Alicante and Merlot.
89/100 BIBENDA n°21, Agosto-Settembre 2006
Very powerful, deep impenetrabile inky colour. Perfumes are driven by a forceful impact of wild berries and violets and evolves into vanilla, chocolate, coffee and sweet tobacco. Silky, slightly hot and fully flavoured. Fruity and smoky in the finish.
The Caburnio of Tenuta Monteti capable of demonstrating in merely one tasting all the charm of the enchanting land of Capalbio.
