Jacopo Biondi Santi Castello di Montepò Cabernet Sauvignon Fontecanese Toscana 2019
Sustainable Practices
We scored first access to these wines here in the USA – perhaps the most collectible new Italian wine to hit the market in quite some time! Super limited!
100% Cabernet Sauvignon is incredibly rare for Italy, and this is just jaw-dropping! Big, flashy, but not oaky, and with a gorgeous balance and purity…you’ll be blown away! Powerful cherry kirsch notes, with blueberries, black plums, blackberries, cinnamon, Chinese 5 spice, and smoldering sage, plus hints of fennel and clove – so utterly complex, so fresh, this is a STUNNER! 100 points and an absolute MUST for any cab-lover.
About The Producer
Castello di Montepò was purchased in the 1980s, and meticulously planted by Jacopo Biond-Santi. Only about 10 miles from the Mediterranean Sea, and twenty miles south of Montalcino, this stunning property shares the famous galestro soils of Chianti, with a mixture of silt, and clay deposits that add diversity to the myriad blocks spread over 120+ acres of vineyards. Jacopo’s son, Tancredi, heads up the project today, guided by his father and a passion to create a new benchmark for Maremma. This is THE winery to watch in Tuscany.
