Otto Ettari Montecucco - 2019 (750ml)

The Montecucco Sangiovese represents a sophisticated expression of the noble Sangiovese grape, a combination of concentration and structure with elegance, resulting in a harmonious balance. On the nose, perfumes of spice and ripe fruit dominate while the mouth is rich and silky with melted tannins and hints of vanilla.

The nose ping pongs between sweet vanilla and sour cherries, with plenty of nuance coming from undertones of rose petals, warm tea with a slice of lemon and a piece of chocolate. An enduring live wire of acid runs through a palate of sweet and tart cherries and blackberries, with notes of dark chocolate and espresso providing an anchor.

Crushed black cherries mix with rosemary and stone dust as the 2019 Montecucco Sangiovese opens in the glass. It’s silky smooth with velvet weight and depths of ripe blueberry and cedary spice. A gentle tannic saturation lingers as nuances of violet pastille and licorice fade. While ripe in style, the 2019 is packed with balanced pleasure. - Eric Guido on April 2026
