95 Robert Parker
This is one of the icon wines of southern Italy. It maintains its timeless nature throughout the years, in good vintages and in bad. The 2019 Montevetrano embraces the radiance and elegance of the very good vintage this was in Campania, with cool nights, good moisture and average summer temperatures. The blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Aglianico and 20% Merlot sourced from a five-hectare site with clay soils. Some 20,000 bottles are made. The bouquet reveals dark cherry and black plum with baker's chocolate and exotic spice. There is an especially black fruit quality that is almost tarry from the Aglianico, and that grape really pops from the blend, as it should, since this is one of the original "super Campania" wines.

A bold red, with lush layers of blackberry reduction and crème de cassis enriched by toasty smoke and tarry mineral threads. Features fine-grained, well-knit tannins that provide sculpted structure, with fragrant black licorice, fig cake and wild sage notes lingering on the chewy finish. Aglianico. Best from 2023 through 2029. 1,000 cases made, 200 cases imported.

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.
