Tenuta Monteti Caburnio

50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 25% Alicante Bouschet. A good vintage, with a mild Winter and a normally wet Spring. The phenological stages of the vines were textbook from budding to veraison. Summer was hot but not torrid, in fact, it was refreshed by some showers. The harvest of the varieties dedicated to Caburnio started the 2nd of September with the Merlot and ended on the 30th with the Cabernet Sauvignon. It was a linear harvest – with a few short storms immediately dried by good north winds – which allowed us to pick healthy grapes at a perfect stage of maturation.Vivid and brilliant ruby red, it offers to the nose hints of jasmine, myrtle, redcurrant and mulberry, followed by notes of beeswax and delicate sweet spices. In the mouth, very coherent with the aromas, it presents itself as full, smooth and fresh with a fine tannin weave that extends into an intense finale. Winemaker's Notes
