Terra di Monteverro - Toscana 2017 | Monsieur Touton Selection

Tasting notes

Complex and integrated nose of fruits like blackcurrant, red cherry and blueberries with touches of black pepper, cedar that evolves on black olive and underbrush. Balanced entrance with a silky mouthfeel lifted by a great acidity lingering on dark fruit like cassis evolving on a dense structure with chocolate, tobacco box and black cherry.

Vinification

Each lot fermented separately. Fermentation in stainless steel and barrel. Natural fermentations, 100% gravity. Punch downs by hand. Aged 20 months in French oak barrels with 60% new oak. No fining, no filtering.

Vintage

The growing season was quite a perfect season. Good rain during winter followed by good conditions for the flowering and the berry setting before the weather got warmer and helped the end of the vegetative growing and the beginning of the maturation of the fruit. Due to these circumstances, the berries were quite small and fully concentrated with flavors and aromas. We harvested the Merlot at the end of August to keep its aromatic characteristics alive but we made the other three Bordeaux varieties from September 10 to 25 with an optimal phenolic maturity.
