Montevetrano Montevetrano 2003
The challenge of heat. An opulent and sunny vintage, now expressing itself with sweet notes of jam, exotic spices, and an imposing body, maintaining an extraordinary velvety softness.
Montevetrano Montevetrano 2003
Opulence and maturity. The 2003 has moved past its alcoholic impetuosity to settle into a rich tertiary profile: prunes, dark chocolate, coffee, and balsamic notes of eucalyptus. On the palate, it is dense and warm, with completely resolved tannins.
