Score 92/100 · Drink 2013-2018, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jun 2012

Tenuta Monteti remains arguably the single finest source for reasonably priced wines in Maremma. The 2008 Caburnio is one of the very best wines from Tuscany in its price range. Espresso, mocha, sweet grilled herbs and plums wrap around the palate in this deep, inviting wine. Hints of licorice, crushed flowers, tobacco and new leather add complexity on the striking, nuanced finish. Caburnio is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Alicante-Bouschet and 20% Merlot aged partly in oak and partly in steel.
