95 Vinous
In the 2017 Montevetrano (Colli di Salerno)I find depths of crushed blue and blackberries, laced with minerals, sweet exotic spices, and cocoa powder, as dark, alluring floral tones pull me closer to the glass, offset by a hint of fresh mint leaf. It floods the palate with silky textures and cool-toned black fruits, as brisk acids carry the 2017 Montevetrano effortlessly across the senses, leaving a coating of savory spice, minerals, and fine tannin. The finish is long and structured, clenching the palate with youthful grip, as hints of black fruits fade to reveal echoes of violet florals. There’s so much density on the palate, yet it is somehow lifted, seamless, and precise, with all the raw ingredients needed to evolve in the cellar over the next ten to twenty years. Gorgeous.

Silvia Imparato is a leading lady of Campania wine. I visited her a few years back and have such a pleasant memory of her home, with beams of sunlight hitting the bright red tomatoes, lemons and basil plants sitting on the handmade ceramic tiles of her rustic kitchen countertop. Her elegant Montevetrano 2017 Montevetrano is a blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with Aglianico and Merlot. From a hot and dry vintage, this expression shows rich concentration with black fruit, blackberry and cherry confit. Those dark fruit tones are nicely supplemented by spice and lightly cured tobacco. Some 20,000 bottles were made.

A finely detailed red, fresh and focused, featuring a pure beam of ripe black currant fruit, layered with subtle accents of wild herb, star anise, graphite and iron. Medium- to full-bodied and elegant, with creamy tannins firming the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Aglianico and Merlot. Drink now through 2030.

Montevetrano di Silvia Imparato
Vino campano di eccellenza , il Montevetrano irrompe sul palcoscenico enologico nel 1995, guadagnandosi da subito gli onori delle cronache. La fotografa italiana Silvia Imparato agli inizi aveva solo 4 ettari di viti a sud di Napoli e nel 1991 produceva solo una piccola quantità di vino. Incoraggiata dai risultati, assunse il viticoltore Riccardo Cotarella per coadiuvarla nell’annata 1992. Nel 1995 Robert Parker ha recensito le annate dal 1991 al 1993 attribuendo un punteggio elevato e definendo il vino come “Sassicaia del Sud”. Questo riconoscimento ha dato visibilità internazionale al vino, che oggi è particolarmente apprezzato e ricercato. Il vigneto si estende su un pendio rivolto a sud, con suoli ghiaiosi e, mentre il primo vino d’annata è stato 70% Cabernet e 30% Aglianico, il blend è oggi più tipicamente 60% Cabernet, 30% Merlot e 10% Aglianico. Agli inizi sono state prodotte solo 1’000 bottiglie, mentre oggi la produzione si aggira attorno alle 30.000 bottiglie. L’area a vigneto è cresciuta da 4 a 6 ettari e si pensa di incrementarla incrementarla a 11 ettari nel prossimo futuro. L’espansione avrà fine quando la produzione raggiungerà le 50.000 bottiglie.
