Description
The Monte Antico Toscana Rosso is an accessible ‘baby’ Super Tuscan and has an elegant bouquet of leather, black cherries, liquorice and plums leading to a medium to full-bodied palate with ripe red fruit along with subtle notes of lingering vanilla and violets. The soft tannins have a gorgeous silky texture yet the wine still shows some backbone with perfect integration of acidity and fruit.
Monte Antico was established in the early 1970s and takes their name from the medieval town of the same name located in Maremma, just a short distance from Montalcino towards the sea. The vineyards are within Maremma, close to Scansano as well as Colline Pisane, Coli Fiorentini and a few areas in Chianti Classico. The total vineyard area is around 200 hectares, with Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot planted at different altitudes and in different soils which guarantee sun exposure and early ripening from the more coastal vines, while inland, hillside grapes show important daytime/night-time temperature differences conducive to high quality fruit and acidity
The finest selection of grapes are chosen according to harvest conditions in the individual terroirs and microclimates. This balanced orchestration of geological diversity makes for the wine’s consistent excellence. Depending on vintage, the wine is aged from 12 to 24 months in old Slavonian and mostly 2nd use French oak, with 10% of the French oak being new.
