Montevertine was one of the highlights of my visits this past summer. Martino Manetti is riding a string of very good to exceptional vintages.

Altitude again...
This year, I couldn’t help but notice the number of top flight wines I tasted from Radda. As readers probably know, Radda is home to the highest vineyards in Chianti Classico. That is almost certainly an asset now, a period in time future generations are likely to look back on as an era when climate change became a very real and determinant issue. Montevertine has long cast a shadow in Radda because of their historical track record of excellence

The 2016s are distinguished by their superb aromatic presence, silky tannins, layered fruit and fabulous sense of harmony

2016 Montevertine, Radda in Chianti, Tuscany
£370 per 6 bottle case in bond
96 points, Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, July 2019
90% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo, 5% Colorino
The 2016 Montevertine will thrill fans of the estate's wines. Freshly cut flowers, dark cherry, plum, mint and spice are some of the many notes that are knit together in a Montevertine that dazzles with nuance and pedigree. The 2016 is not an obvious wine, but it has class and persistence to burn, with tannins that are incredibly finessed for a young wine. Quite simply, the 2016 is one of the very finest Montevertines in recent memory. The 2016 was memorable from cask last year. It is every bit as riveting today. The 2016 spent two years in casks ranging size from 5.5HL to 18HL, with both Slavonian and French oak. Don't miss it. Drink 2028-2066
