93 Robert Parker
The 2012 Montevetrano has evidently embraced the heat of this warm summer season. This is a dark and exuberant wine, with bold fruit flavors of black cherry, spice, leather and chocolate that pop with intensity from the glass. The effect is seamless, soft and fully integrated. The wine shows a riper taste profile, for sure, that offers pleasure and opulence.<br/>The delightful and inspirational Silvia Imparato is a larger-than-life figure on the Campania wine scene. Her work with Consulting Enologist Riccardo Cotarella over the years has forever raised the bar on the region's vinous identity. Back with her first vintage of Montevetrano in 1991, she proved that great wines could be made here (especially in the unlikely Salerno area south of Naples where few other wineries exist). Percentages change according to vintage conditions, but the estate's namesake wine is usually a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Aglianico and 20% Merlot. On my visit to the beautiful estate, Silvia Imparato generously offered to open a few back vintages so that we could check the evolution of this iconic wine.

A velvety-textured red with lots of dried-fruit, hazelnut and walnut undertones. Full and flavorful but rich and chocolatey. This is just a baby now. Needs three or four years to soften: better in 2017.

Brimming with dark cassis and black cherry fruit, this elegant red offers polished tannins and a finely meshed palate that layers the pure fruit with accents of dried thyme, graphite, rich leather, smoke and loamy earth. Cabernet Sauvignon, Aglianico and Merlot. Drink now through 2025. 2,500 cases made. –AN

Montevetrano di Silvia Imparato
1995 explodierte der kampanische Superstar-Wein Montevetrano in der Weinszene und erreichte fast über Nacht Kultstatus. Die italienische Fotografin Silvia Imparato besaß zunächst nur 4 Hektar Rebfläche südlich von Neapel und erzeugte 1991 recht wenig Wein. Durch die Ergebnisse ermutigt, stellte sie Winzer Ricardo Cotarella ein der beim 1992`er Jahrgang helfen sollte. Im Jahr 1995 schickte sie die Jahrgänge 1991 bis 1993 an Robert Parker, welcher eine hohe Punktzahl vergab und ihn bekanntermaßen als den „Sassacaia des Südens“ bezeichnete. Damit wurde der Wein über Nacht begehrt. Der Weinberg befindet sich auf einem Südhang mit kiesigen Böden. Während der erste Jahrgang 70 % Cabernet und 30 % Aglianico beinhaltete, ist die Mischung jetzt typischerweise 60 % Cabernet, 30 % Merlot und 10 % Aglianico geworden. Zunächst wurden nur 1.000 Flaschen hergestellt. Jetzt beträgt die Produktion mehr als 30.000 Flaschen. Die Weingärten wurden von 4 auf 6 Hektar erhöht und sollen in naher Zukunft auf bis zu 11 Hektar erweitert werden. Die Expansion wird erst beendet wenn die Produktion 50.000 Flaschen erreicht hat.
