Colli di Salerno IGT 1999 Montevetrano

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (95)

The 1999 Montevetrano is a rock-star wine. Still remarkably fresh and vibrant, the 1999 bursts from the glass with layers of dark berries, grilled herbs, leather and tar. There is a level of richness, depth and sheer power to the fruit here that is simply mind-bending, while the wine’s overall sense of balance is breathtaking. Another decade-plus of fine drinking seems like a sure bet for the 1999 Montevetrano. Imparato describes 1999 as a hot vintage in which the harvest began in late August. Curiously, the wine shows no evidence at all of heat, but instead comes across as exceptionally well balanced.

Winespectator (93)

Introduced by beautiful aromas of violets, berries and flowers, with hints of new wood, this modern beauty is full-bodied, with lovely soft tannins and wonderfully focused fruit. Always a favorite. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Aglianico.
