Monte Antico Description
The best selections of grapes are perfectly blended and aged one year in oak: 80% in Slavonian oak barrels, five to six years old, and 20% in barriques. The barriques are 10-20% new and 90-80% 2nd year. The wine is bottle aged for 12 months, and styled to a graceful balance of voluptuous berry tones and flexible/sturdy backbone.
A food-friendly red with all the classic Tuscan seductiveness including delicious fruit, velvety, extract-fraught texture, full body, beautiful finish and superb balance. Dark ruby in color, its bouquet of leather, earth, herbs, black cherries, licorice, and plums is confirmed on the medium to full-bodied palate. Round, spicy, elegant, attractively fruity and extremely versatile- in others words food friendly and pocket friendly.
Blend: 85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot

Blackberry, blueberry and crushed-stone aromas follow through to a medium-bodied palate with lightly chewy tannins and dried lemon rind on the finish. Tangy and delicious.
Staff Rated: 88 Points
Bright red. Floral nuances of rose and violet complement redcurrant on the nose, with an element of sweet spices emerging with aeration. Medium-bodied, straightforward and bright, with delicately spicy red berry flavors and polished tannins. This should be enjoyed over the next three or four years.
