Monteti 2019 Jeroboam 3 L

Shipped in wooden case

55% Petit Verdot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc

The winter was normally rainy and mild, with some sporadic drops below freezing at night. Budding occurred in the third decade of March. The spring was cold and very rainy, which slowed down vegetative growth. The veraison took place from mid-July onwards, later than our averages. The summer was hot but not scorching, cooled by a bit of rain in mid-July.

The harvest was linear, hot, interrupted by a shower on September 22nd which however did not disturb the ripening of the later varieties. The harvest of the plots dedicated to Monteti began on September 11th with the Cabernet Sauvignon, and ended on the 29th with the Petit Verdot. Grapes in good health and with an excellent point of ripeness.

Of a deep garnet red with violet reflections, it offers the nose mysterious notes of black cherry, dark fruit, hints of undergrowth with hints of coffee, palo santo, graphite and violet. It glides full-bodied in the mouth, with sparkling tannins that lead to a harmonious and remarkably persistent finish.
