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 2019 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!
"The 2019 Montecucco Rosso Riserva is dark and brooding in the glass, with suggestions of rosemary and sage, chalk dust and autumunal spice giving way to red currants. This washes across the palate. Elegant and refined, with sleek red and black fruits carried across a core of vibrant acidity. It leaves a coating of fine tannins to linger along with a licorice tinge, as hints of sweet sage and violent inner florals fade. This is a radiant and seductive vintage for the Rosso Riserva, a blend of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Ciliegiolo and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon." Antonio Galloni, VInous 93 Points
