    Profile

    Dark ruby color with shades of purple. Very intense nose with bouquet of balsamic, flowery violet, iris, spices, red fruits, vanilla and cloves. On the palate it reveals its great structure, dry and savory supported by balanced acidity, warm and persistent with great ageing potential. Supple tannins become refinement of taste, soft and velvety by time.

    Critic awards

    This certified organic wine represents an ambitious blend of Mammolo, Ciliegiolo, Pugnitello, Colorino, Sanforte, Malvasia Nera, Canaiolo, Fogliatonda and Sangiovese. The Badia a Coltibuono 2018 Montebello is always a hard wine to nail down precisely, considering the wide-reaching nature of the blend. The bouquet shows dark cherry and earth, and there are hints of cinnamon, tar and grilled herb. The alcohol content is a bit overboard, measuring 15.5% in this vintage, but the wine has the textural layering to absorb most of that heat. Only 4,400 bottles were made.

    — 93 points, Robert Parker Wine Advocate

    Really pretty fruit here with currants and spices with some fresh flowers. Medium to full body. Fine tannins. Focused and real. From organically grown grapes. Give this three or four years to soften. 

    — 92 points, James Suckling

    A multifaceted red, featuring cherry, strawberry, floral, iron, tobacco and oak spice
    aromas and flavors. Just when you think this is ready to enjoy, the firm, dense structure engages, leaving a stiff, if long, finish. Best from 2025 through 2042.
