Montevertine Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy 2022

Toscana IGT 2022 from Radda in Chianti, Tuscany, is a refined, medium-bodied red wine that highlights the elegance of Sangiovese, complemented by small amounts of Canaiolo and Colorino. Fermented in concrete vats and aged for about 24 months in Slavonian oak, it offers a bright ruby color and a complex nose of blackberry, raspberry, violets, pipe tobacco, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is smooth and balanced, with integrated tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, savory finish, making it a versatile companion for grilled meats, braised dishes, or aged cheeses. With excellent aging potential through the 2040s, this wine exemplifies Montevertine’s commitment to expressing the purity and nuance of classic Tuscan terroir.

"The 2022 Montevertine is a total stunner. Readers will find a wine of uncommon depth and resonance, all in the classic Montevertine style with the purity of fruit of today's wines. Dark red cherry, red plum, blood orange, pomegranate, spice, menthol and rose petal stain the palate. All the elements are so well balanced. Silky tannins are completely incorporated in the wine's fabric. This is super-impressive. Montevertine is increasingly the wine for the shrewd consumer to buy here." Vinous 97
