Caburnio 2006 - Wine Advocate #190 (Aug 2010)
Rating: 90
The 2006 Caburnio is a big, boisterous wine that captures the essence of this important Tuscan
vintage. Blackberries, grilled herbs, spices, menthol and cassis are some of the nuances that come
together in the glass with tons of Maremma character. This is a fabulous wine for the money.
Anticipated maturity: 2010-2016. Tenuta Monteti is doing some very interesting things in Maremma.
The entry-level Caburnio, a French oak-aged blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Alicante
Bouschet, expresses plenty of the signature house style.

Tenuta Monteti is a project long nurtured by Paolo Baratta, which he pursued with great determination. He first envisioned the estate as a youth in the vineyards of Northern Italy. After many years, he found the site with ideal conditions for producing wines of great quality, with their own personality. Wines that are an expression of a land that is both picturesque and archaic.
The Tenuta Monteti estate is located in the Capalbio area of Maremma.
Over the past six years, Paolo and his team have determinedly used their energies to prepare the land, to organize the business, and to build the winery. Working side by side with esteemed wine maker Carlo Ferrini, they produce two wines of distinction under the Toscana IGT - Caburnio and Monteti.
With 25 hectares of vineyards, the future is bright for this new estate.
