2021 Montevertine - Toscana Rosso IGT Montevertine Super Tuscan

The 2021 Montevertine Toscana Rosso IGT delivers a focused expression of pure Sangiovese drawn from the clay, schist, and limestone terraces above Radda in Chianti. Managed by Martino Manetti alongside oenologist Paolo Salvi, the estate farms organically and ferments the fruit in concrete vats before maturing the blend for twenty-four months in large Slavonian oak casks. This measured approach preserves varietal transparency while constructing a firm, age-worthy tannic structure.

Sourced from eighteen hectares of hillside vineyards, the wine leans heavily on Sangiovese with targeted additions of Canaiolo and Colorino to smooth the mid-palate. The 2021 vintage opens with concentrated blue currant, iris, and red rose, supported by a tight, elegant architecture that expands steadily through aeriation. Vibrant acidity and polished fruit define the core, while the extended contact with neutral oak guarantees a seamless integration from aroma to finish.

Owing to its balanced tension and refined framework, this bottling offers both immediate drinkability and reliable cellar life. Match it with slow-braised cuts of beef, herb-roasted game, or hand-cut pasta dressed in a rich tomato ragù. Each glass captures an estate’s historic refusal to compromise blending rules, resulting in a transparent, terroir-driven Tuscan red that ages gracefully alongside traditional Italian mains.
