Monteti 2007 - Rating: 92 pts
The 2007 Monteti bursts from the glass with the essence of blackberries, blueberry jam, crushed rocks and spices. This is a decidedly inky, sumptuous, super-ripe wine that needs a few years in bottle to settle down. The 2007 Monteti is 55% Petit Verdot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 18 months in French oak barrels, 70% new. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. Antonio Galloni

Caburnio 2007 - Rating: 91 pts
Tenuta Monteti’s Caburnio is one of the best values 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 gorgeous fabric of considerable elegance. The Caburnio possesses striking mid-palate presence and a long, harmonious finish. Caburnio is 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Alicante Bouschet and 20% Merlot aged in equal parts steel and French oak, most of it neutral. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. Antonio Galloni

Toscana Caburnio 2007 - 92 points
Fresh and focused flavors of black cherry, black currant and herbs that border on jammy, but never cross the line. Supple and smooth, offering ripe tannins and bright acidity for structure, with
excellent length. Cabernet Sauvignon, Alicante and Merlot. Best from 2012 through 2024.—B.S.

Monteti 2006 Rating: 93+
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. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2026.
Tenuta Monteti is one of the most exciting properties on the Tuscan coast. The flagship Monteti is a Cabernet Franc/Petit Verdot blend that spends 16 months in French oak and is bottled unfiltered and unfined. All three vintages I tasted were magnificent. The estate’s entry-level red. Caburnio, was reviewed in Issue 190.

Caburnio 2006 Rating: 90
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 entry-level Caburnio, a French oak-aged blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Alicante
Bouschet, expresses plenty of the signature house style.

Tenuta Monteti is a project long nurtured by Paolo Baratta, which he pursued with great determination. He first envisioned the estate as a youth in the vineyards of Northern Italy. After many years, he found the site with ideal conditions for producing wines of great quality, with their own personality. Wines that are an expression of a land that is both picturesque and archaic.
The Tenuta Monteti estate is located in the Capalbio area of Maremma.
Over the past six years, Paolo and his team have determinedly used their energies to prepare the land, to organize the business, and to build the winery. Working side by side with esteemed wine maker Carlo Ferrini, they produce two wines of distinction under the Toscana IGT - Caburnio and Monteti.
With 25 hectares of vineyards, the future is bright for this new estate.
