This is a famous red that delivers depth and finesse. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a wonderful finish of blackberry, cocoa and spices including black peppercorns. One of the best Montevetranos in years. A blend of aglianico and merlot. Drink or hold.

The 2013 Montevetrano was a little shut down when I tasted it. This blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 30% Aglianico starts off slowly but it does reach full speed with a few quick swirls of the glass. Some 30,000 bottles were made. The wine opens to a dark garnet color with thick concentration of dark pigments. The bouquet needs a little patience before it shows a complete bouquet of rose, spice, dark chocolate and dried blackberry aromas.<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.

Coffee and spice notes underscore this rich, chewy red, accenting flavors of crushed black currant and wild cherry fruit, smoky mineral and star anise, with a hint of cocoa. This is sleek and finely meshed, with a grippy finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Aglianico and Merlot. Drink now through 2026. 2,100 cases made. –AN

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.
