Long in the shadows of the highly sought-after Le Pergole Torte, the 2020 Montevertine is outrageously beautiful. Rich and sumptuous, it possesses tremendous fruit purity and exceptional balance. Dark red and purple berries and plum, lavender, rose petal, mint, and sweet spice abound, in a wine that marries the classicism of Montevertine with the solar intensity of today’s harvests. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eVines for the flagship Rosso come from a variety of parcels: primarily from the \u003cem\u003eMontevertine\u003c\/em\u003e plot itself (2.5 hectares of south-southeast-exposed vines planted in 1982) just below the house itself, but also from nearby \u003cem\u003eVillanova\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eIl Pesa\u003c\/em\u003e, along with choicer parcels from the \u003cem\u003eSelvole\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eIl Casino\u003c\/em\u003e vineyards mentioned above.

Grapes for ‘Doccio a Matteo’ are manually harvested, with spontaneous fermentation in concrete vats; maturation is in old oak vats for two and a half years. From the stellar, and long-lived 2016 vintage, this is a wine of power, depth, and concentration, with a quixotic sense of exoticness to it. High-toned aromatics add character along with an element of rusticity that nevertheless works quite well here, with macerated cherry, plum, leather, cloves, menthol, and coffee that all develop with time. A dollop of Colorino contributes further shades of nuance and complexity, and there’s  a hint of fig, leather, and iron in the finish.
