Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2015 Tinata represents a blend of 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache with fruit grown in the southern part of Coastal Tuscany near the beachside resort town of Capalbio. This Rhône-inspired Tuscan blend is aged (70%) in barrique for 16 months and the rest goes into egg-shaped cement tanks. Some 6,430 bottles were produced. This lovely wine offers rich texture and depth with medium to full-bodied layers of dark fruit. Black currant and summer cherry are followed by smoke, spice and chocolate. This warm vintage shows extra concentration and richness.

Producer Information

Monteverro is a wine producer based in the southern Tuscan village of Capalbio, in Maremma. The estate is best known for its Super Tuscan wines, including its flagship wine, Monteverro, which is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Founder Georg Weber established the estate’s vineyards in 2004 and produced the inaugural vintage four years later in 2008. Today, the vineyards extend over an area of 35 hectares (86 acres), planted to Syrah, Grenache, Sangiovese, Chardonnay and Vermentino, as well as the Bordeaux red grape varieties. The vines occupy stony red clay soils that are rich in minerals and, when combined with the favorable coastal location, enjoy ideal growing conditions. Consulting oenologist Michel Rolland oversees the winemaking of the estate’s six wines: Monteverro, Terra di Monteverro, Tinata and Verruzzo, as well as varietal Chardonnay and Vermentino wines. Both the Monteverro and the Terra di Monteverro (the second wine) are made from similar quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The Verruzzo is a blend of Bordeaux red grapes with smaller quantities of Sangiovese, while Dyed is a blend of Syrah and Grenache. The two white wines are both aged on their lees with only light filtration.
