The 2021 Montevertine is a huge, potent wine. Dark, rich, and powerful, it possesses tremendous depth – drinkers will have to be patient. The inclusion of new vineyards in the Docciole sector have altered Montevertine; it’s now a darker, more virile wine from mostly younger vines, in relative terms. Even at this young stage it presents a mind-boggling display of explosive aromatics, vibrant fruit, and driving structure; the purity of the flavors is stunning. A bit stylistically different from the house style, but shaping up to be majestic.
