Winery notes (2019 Vintage)
"The dominant flavour is the extreme elegance of the Sangiovese with charming cherry notes combined with dark fruits and the complexity of Cabernet; the typical acidity and the body are perfectly integrated, it's linear, dry, persistent and shows a nice balance.
The Montecucco Rosso Riserva carries the name of the Estate, it represents the essence of our production: a wine for any palate, ripe and complex with smooth tannins."
93/100 Raffaele Vecchione, WinesCritic.com (2019 Vintage)
"Broad and decisive in the main profile it alternates notes of raspberries, black plums, blackberries and wild strawberries. Full body, perfectly ripe tannins and a juicy and centered finish that is decidedly modern in its smooth and anthocyanin style. Drink now."
92/100 Eric Guido, Vinous (2019 Vintage)
"A blend of dusty rose, cedar spice box, cloves and dried black cherries makes the 2019 Rosso Montecucco Riserva impossible to ignore. It's silky and supple on the palate with a juicy acidity that enlivens its tart wild berry fruits as a coating of fine tannins gently tugs at the senses. Hard red candy and licorice nuances linger as the 2019 finishes with decent length and lasting concentration. While enjoyable to taste already, a short stay in the cellar is recommended."
