Montevertine was one of the highlights of my visits this past summer. Martino Manetti is riding a string of very good to exceptional vintages. One recent development is the recent acquisition of 2.5 hectares of vineyards in Radda that replaces 2 hectares that were previously farmed under a lease that has now expired. As for the wines, well, they are positively thrilling. The 2017 growing season brought with it significant challenges. Frost on the lower hillsides, and therefore reduced yields in the field were compounded by grapes with very little juice for a net loss of 40% of the potential crop. Two thousandsixteen was a much more balanced and classic year. Harvest started on October 6, as opposed to September 25 in 2017 and produced some of the most viscerally thrilling, breathtaking wines I have ever tasted here, or anywhere, for that matter.
