95/100 FALSTAFF, Tasting Costa Toscana 2023
Rosso rubino brillante. Fragrante al naso, di legni pregiati, grafite, un tocco di drupacee, delicati toni floreali nel retrogusto, così come un po’ di cera di candela. Al palato appare levigato, con frutto netto e tannini ben integrati, il cuore ha una certa leggerezza nel finale, senza apparire sedato, un vino sorprendente che invita alla beva.

Intense ruby red. Wild, hermetic, it slowly releases senses of berries, blueberries, currant, mulberries. Spices are shy but present, forming together with aromatic herbs the most pleasant bouquet. In the mouth it has a pompous and convincing entry, promising maybe more than the finale, which is anyway of good persistence and great pleasantness.

93/100 THE WINE ADVOCATE, Monica Larner, 14 gennaio 2021
Il bouquet mostra note sapide e perfino un tocco di animale muschiato che si nasconde nella ricca densità e concentrazione, tipica di un’annata calda, di questo blend toscano. Questa personalità carnosa conferisce al vino il potere e l’ampiezza di abbinarsi tanto a una bistecca grigliata come alla cacciagione. Il finale è condotto da tanta frutta scura, con mora pressata e prugna in testa. Bevibilità: 2020-28.

93/100 THE WINE ADVOCATE by R. Parker, 30 November, Monica Larner
The 2013 Monteti is a terrific wine with a well-concentrated but seamless presentation of flavors. Black fruit transitions to baking spice, cured leather and bresaola with juniper berry. The bouquet is savory and dark, but it never feels heavy or flat. Indeed, the wine offers a bright and pristine mouthfeel that prizes length and elegance.
🍷🍷 GAMBERO ROSSO 2018
The Monteti, flagship wine of the estate, was finalist this year and by a whisker didn’t take the 3 red glasses; blend of Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc, the 2013 vintage shows at the nose notes of dark ripe fruit blended with herbaceous puffs. In the mouth is enveloping at the fist impact, then progresses linear and compact thanks to an elegant sapidity.
▼▼▼▼ BIBENDA 2018
Intense ruby red. Refined bouquet of wild fruits, noble herbal sensations, mediterranean scrub, cocoa and a happy floral touch. Vigorous in the mouth, energized by a right fresh and sapid contribution and by well calibrated tannins. Long persistence.

Intense ruby red. Dark austere nose with notes of spices, black pepper, cloves, leather and aromatic herbes. Nicely deep in the palate, elegant, sapid and enveloping, sustained by a good acidity.
92/100 WINE ENTHUSIAST, Karin O’Keefe, may 2018
Aromas of black currant, baking spice, cocoa and a whiff of orange zest abound on this inviting blend of 55% Petit Verdot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc. The aromas carry over to the polished palate alongside velvety tannins that give it a smooth texture. Enjoy through 2023.
92/100 THE WINE GANG, October 2017
This would make a good ‘identify the varieties’ question in a blind tasting. Although there’s nothing unusual about Bordeaux grapes and blends in Tuscany, Monteti, the estate’s flagship wine, is rare in majoring on Petit Verdot (more than half) supported by 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc. With five years under its belt, it has sweet, floral aromas interleaved with more evolved tobacco and game notes, and a palate of concentrated dark fruit, gamey tapenade richness and fine tannins.
🍷🍷 GAMBERO ROSSO 2017
Monteti 2012, blend of Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc e Cabernet Sauvignon, presents pleasant notes of officinal herbs, elegant in the mouth, with good progression, vibrant tannins on a sapid background that makes the sip long and juicy.
▼▼▼▼ BIBENDA 2017
Full and compact ruby red. The impact at the nose is intense with hints of raspberry, redcurrant, sandal wood, thyme, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, milk chocolate, orange zest on a layer of herbs. Attractive at the palate, proportionate tannins and strong recall to the sweetness of the fruit. Matured for 18 months in French oak barriques, 70% new and 30% of second passage.
MONEYWEEK 20 October 2017 by Matthew Jukes – A SUPER TUSCAN IN A LEAGUE OF ITS OWN
It’s interesting how the petit verdot grape keeps popping up in conversation these days. Back in April, in Bordeaux, a good few of the châteaux mentioned that they were planting more and when I tasted this “Super Tuscan” the other day I was delighted to see that this underrated grape majored in the blend – 55% petit verdot, 25% cabernet sauvignon and 20% cabernet franc.
Monteti is made from 28 different micro-plots, which are all vinified separately in bespoke vats. You can taste the care and attention that goes into this intricately assembled wine.
It is like a vintage car purring on a forecourt, pristine and glinting in the sun, begging you to get in for a tear around the countryside.
I absolutely love the class and elegance on display here and, because it is not a silly price,
I venture that Monteti is in a league of its own. Every reader should buy a case – every palate will adore this wine, I promise.

Ciliegia scura, moka, spezie, cuoio fresco, liquirizia, fumo e tabacco, sono alcuni degli aromi e profumi che si schiudono nel Monteti 2010. Caldo, aperto e splendidamente risonante, il 2010 offre tonnellate di personalità e assoluto appeal. Il meglio è che il 2010 si berrà bene con minimo invecchiamento. Le dolci note floreali e speziate sul finale, sono incredibilmente affascinanti. Finestra di bevibilità 2016-2025.
94/100 THE WINE ADVOCATE di ROBERT PARKER, June 2012
The 2008 Monteti impresses for its depth and pure sensual expression of fruit. A warm, inviting bouquet leads to dark cherries, asphalt, graphite, tar and licorice in this rich, dynamic wine. The personality of the Tuscan Maremma comes through in spades. The 2008 is another incredibly reasonably priced wine from Monteti. It will challenge wines costing two times (or more) as much! Monteti is 50% Petit Verdot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in French oak barrels, 70% new. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.
93/100 VINOUS – Antonio Galloni, August 2013
Grilled herbs, mocha, espresso, plums and graphite burst from the glass in the 2008 Tenuta Monteti. Endowed with serious depth and power, the 2008 impresses for its nuance, richness and sheer power. A warm, resonant finish laced with suggestive Cabernet Franc nuances rounds things out in style.
94/100 FALSTAFF, Othmar Kiem, September 2014
A sparkling full ruby colour, opens with light smoked tones like the smell exuding from a box of cigars, underneath lie lovely perfumed notes of cassis. At the beginning it introduces and then develops rich aromas of mature juicy fruits. Then upon opening itself up offers a compact tannin impression in successive phases. Slowly growing and constructing itself, in the end expresses its strong character but still maintaining a youthful freshness.

Starts out with some earthy funk in the aroma, leading to flavors of black currant, licorice, tobacco and spice on the palate. Dense, chewy and balanced, with a long aftertaste of black fruit, saline and licorice. Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2015 through 2024.

The 2006 Monteti sparkles on the palate with beautifully articulated dark fruit, rosemary, mint and French oak. This is a somewhat understated 2006 from the Tuscan coast that relies more on elegance than sheer power, and there is no shortage of finesse here. This continues to gain weight and density in the glass, though, and my impression is that it will develop into a rather muscular wine even if today it is somewhat closed in on itself.

The 2005 Monteti is wonderfully expressive. Today it is more open than the 2006 although I strongly suspect its younger sibling is simply shut down. Espresso, mocha and French oak are layered into a core of black fruit, grilled herbs and cassis. The 2005 is a touch slender and doesn’t have the sheer stuffing to support extended cellaring, but it remains a strikingly fresh, pure wine that is easy to enjoy today.
