Tasting notes
The 2007 Montevertine is a joyous wine. Medium in body yet irresistibly opulent, the 2007 Montevertine presents a rich fabric of red fruit framed by silky, impossibly fine tannins. Unlike the 2006 which was much firmer at this stage, the 2007 is ripe, open and beautifully accessible. Readers who prefer more tertiary nuance will undoubtedly want to cellar this, but opening a bottle now is far from a crime. The wine's inner perfume and gorgeous balance render it highly enjoyable even today. Montevertine is Sangiovese with a dash of Canaiolo and Colorino.
