2019 Montevetrano di Silvia Imparato Colli di Salerno IGT
£48.00
“This is one of the icon wines of southern Italy. It maintains its timeless nature throughout the years, in good vintages and in bad. The 2019 Montevetrano embraces the radiance and elegance of the very good vintage this was in Campania, with cool nights, good moisture and average summer temperatures. The blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Aglianico and 20% Merlot sourced from a five-hectare site with clay soils. Some 20,000 bottles are made. The bouquet reveals dark cherry and black plum with baker’s chocolate and exotic spice. There is an especially black fruit quality that is almost tarry from the Aglianico, and that grape really pops from the blend, as it should, since this is one of the original “super Campania” wines.”
95 Points, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
“The 2019 Montevetrano captivates with a rich mix of brown spice, tobacco, rum-soaked cherries, menthol and mint. This is classy and polished, with textures of pure silk and a massive core of dark red and black fruits that slowly saturate the palate. The 2019 finishes classically dry and incredibly long, leaving fine-grained tannins framing wild blueberry and sage nuances. What a beauty. Cellaring will be required to unlock all of its charms. The 2019 Montevetrano is a beautifully composed blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Aglianico and 20% Merlot.”

Montevetrano is a red wine Colli di Salerno IGT, composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Aglianico, Merlot. It is produced just a few kilometres from Salerno in the winery of Montevetrano owned by Silvia Imparato in San Cipriano Picentino. It is vinified with own grapes and bottled at the estate, to guarantee total control of the whole productive cycle. The composition of the soil is medium-texture, with bones fragments. Montevetrano has a recognizable style, characterized by complexity, like the territory in which it is born with its variety of perfumes and colours. It is a wine with a strong persistence, that benefits from the influence of the sea and a mild climate. The vineyard is protected by the Picentini Mountains, which form like a crown around the property. Thanks to a careful and respectful processing it the Montevetrano continues to mature in bottles for fifteen or twenty years. According to the tasting made during the years, the forecasts and experts opinions on the various vintages, Montevetrano guaranties great longevity.
