Monte Antico Rosso — Toscana IGT 2021 750ml
Monte Antico is one of Tuscany's most reliably excellent values — a benchmark Toscana IGT that has built a devoted following among sommeliers and everyday wine lovers alike. Blended from Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot grown across the rolling hills of the Maremma, it is vinified to express the warmth and generosity of the Tuscan sun without sacrificing structure or elegance. The 2021 vintage delivers everything that has made Monte Antico a perennial go-to: dark fruit, earthy complexity, and a round, food-friendly palate at an honest price.
Deep ruby in color. The nose offers leather, earth, dried herbs, black cherry, licorice, and ripe plum. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with round tannins, a spice-laced mid-palate, and a dry, persistent finish with attractive tension and mineral lift. Elegant, versatile, and built for the table.
James Suckling 91 — "Notes of dark cherries, blackberries, cedar, crushed stones and iodine. Tight and layered, medium body, dry spice-laced finish with persistent tension." (Prior Vintage 2020).

A true Tuscan classic! Deep ruby color with garnet reflections and an elegant bouquet of leather, black cherries, licorice and plums; a medium to a full-bodied palate, rich in ripe red fruit, goût de terroir, subtle notes of vanilla and violet that are well-integrated with the soft tannins and silky texture. Firm backbone, perfect integration of acidity and fruit and a well-rounded, gentle finish. Best to pair with pasta, structured dishes, meat and cheese.
"A super-clean, fruity red with juicy blackcurrant and dark cherry character. Medium-bodied with very fine, fruit-coated tannins and a fresh finish. " James Suckling - 91 points
"Vanilla and toasted coconut open the nose of this wine, before being joined by bright strawberry-cherry and stony underbrush. Strawberries and wild green watermelon notes perk up the palate, with more vanilla and also milk chocolate. Tannins are beginning to uncoil but acid remains present and accounted for."
