Now we're talking! The 2016 Montevertine is a chiseled and sharp expression, with flinty notes of pencil lead and black stone. This is an absolutely divine Sangiovese that is bright and vertical. It is delicate in the mouth, something you'd want to pair with some mild, sautéed mushrooms if anything. It's a beautiful wine with a long and extended aging future. Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Gritty, muscular, and high in acidity, this eventually came through with gorgeous stewed plums and figs, pressed flowers, potpourri. A juggernaut, and perhaps it’s more acidic qualities will soften with time.

Overly tart cherry and hibiscus. Prob too young. Had with Pastaria pizza and bolognese.

I think we opened this a little early. Very flowery and red fruits like strawberry and bright cherry. Tastes like Tuscany and Sangiovese.

I loved the ‘15, and this vintage even kicks it up a notch. QPR is insane for this wine (if that’s an allowable term for a $50-ish wine). Classic, delicious, and distinctive. It just runs out too soon! Note to self: buy magnums!
