93 Robert Parker
Silvia Imparato?s path breaking blend of Cabernet, Merlot, and Aglianico seems to do best in odd-numbered years ? 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999, and now this beautiful 2001 ? even though I continue to have a soft spot for the 1992, a shot across the bow which seems to have helped wake up a then slumbering region with an enormous potential. Blackish ruby in color, warm, spicy, and penetrating in aroma with expansive notes of black currants, graphite, mint, and licorice, it is both concentrated and lush on the palate with a solid structure and swelling volume which promise fifteen years of life ahead.

An expansive nose, with currants, Christmas cake spices and vanilla. Full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins triggering off a long, long spicy fruit finish. This is one of the most interesting reds made in the south and despite a vineyard expansion, the wine remains outstanding. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Aglianico. Best after 2007. 1,600 cases made. ?JS

A chewy, rich wine with blueberry, fresh-rosemary and stone character. Full-bodied, very austere and dry.

Montevetrano di Silvia Imparato
Vin vedette de la Campanie, Montevetrano a brusquement fait son apparition en 1995, accédant à un statut de culte quasiment du jour au lendemain. A l’origine, la photographe italienne Silvia Imparato possédait seulement 4 hectares de vignes au sud de Naples et a élaboré une quantité minime de vin en 1991. Forte de ses premiers résultats, elle a embauché l’œnologue Ricardo Cotarella pour l’aider avec le millésime 1992. En 1995, elle a fait parvenir des échantillons des millésimes 1991-1993 à Robert Parker, lequel les a très bien notés avant d’employer le qualificatif célèbre de « Sassicaia du Sud ». Et le vin a connu, de ce fait, un succès fulgurant. Le vignoble s’étend sur un coteau exposé au sud sur des sols graveleux. Le premier millésime comportait 70% de cabernet et 30% d’aglianico, mais dorénavant l’assemblage se partage plutôt entre 60% de cabernet, 30% de merlot et 10% d’aglianico. La production est passée de 1 000 à environ 30 000 bouteilles aujourd’hui. Et la superficie du vignoble de 4 à 6 hectares, A court terme cette superficie pourrait être portée à 11 hectares, un développement qui prendra fin dès que la production atteindra 50 000 bouteilles.
