Super Tuscan's are some of the most popular red wines at The Wine Buyer, and we just found this amazing blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Crafted in Montecucco, the hidden gem of Tuscany, nestled between Montalcino and Scansano, world renown for their unique expression of native Sangiovese. This area of Tuscany is slightly warmer than Chianti, resulting is a more voluptuous wine, notably more fruit-forward than you average Italian red, while retaining that distinct Old-World complexity. Their 2018 Riserva is a standout, think a cross between Brunello di Montalcino and a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. It's got that much fruit, body, and structure!
"Rich yet succulent and open-knit, this red delivers strawberry, cherry, earth, tobacco and licorice flavors allied to a fine structure. Shows excellent balance and length." The Wine Spectator, 92 Points
"The 2018 Rosso Montecucco Riserva is deep and savory in the glass; sage underbrush notes complement a mix of black cherry and plum. This fleshes across the palate with a pleasing mix of silky textures and ripe red fruits. Savory herbal notes come forward and add gravitas toward the close. The 2018 tapers off with a flourish of inner sweetness as licorice and spice slowly fade. I’m impressed by the depth here, considering the difficulties of the vintage. The Riserva is a sexy blend of 80% Sangiovese and 10% Ciliegiolo and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon." Antonio Galloni, 91 Points
"This has aromas of cherries, blackberries, mushrooms, cloves, tar and tobacco. It’s medium-bodied with firm tannins. Savory and spicy with a flavorful finish." James Suckling, 91 Points
