 Tasted by jnewman77 on 3/30/2024: Wanted to try one of these young; it was very young. Nose was nice, but a bit closed; darker fruit, mint, spice, and earth; the palate is very powerful and the tannins are a bit overwhelming. I suspect this will close down and need a bit of time. Its drinkable now with food, but needs 5+ years really. Reminiscent of the '13 to me. Will be really good, but be patient. (1255 views)
 Tasted by drwine2001 on 3/15/2024: Decanted and poured. Medium ruby. Strong licorice aromas. Initially powerful, penetrating sour cherry and herb with excellent acidity. Medium body. Curiously, this only seemed thinner and more attenuated with more air. Not a great showing. (1314 views)
 Tasted by Robmcl920 on 11/29/2023 & rated 93 points: The ‘20 Montevertine is fabulous. It’s going to need a lot of time to be at its best, but as I’ve found typical of this producer, it is very elegant and so drinking a bottle now is not crazy.

On the nose, I found black cherry fruit, lavender, roses, and sweet spice, with the aromatics showing a nice combination of dark fruit and redder floral tones. On the palate, the wine is medium in body with good concentration of fruit, with dark red fruit, orange peel, and red florals, with quite of bit of tannin but they are elegant enough to not disturb from the wine much. There is a beautiful sense of sweetness to the fruit already apparent, and lots of energy with medium to high acidity. (2158 views)
 Tasted by Flamar on 9/18/2023 & rated 95 points: Mostly sangiovese. Small amounts of canaiolo and colorino. (1400 views)

Sangiovese Blend

Sangiovese blend is used in CellarTracker for Italian wines to represent wines predominantly made of Sangiovese and blended with traditional Italian grapes. It is different than SuperTuscan which is a blend of Sangiovese with non-traditional (eg Bordeaux) varieties, often in closer to equal portions. For example, Chianti is at least 80% Sangiovese and will always be listed Sangiovese blend.
