Tenuta L'Impostino Montecucco Impostino Riserva 2015

$2999

From the volcanic slopes of Monte Amiata in southern Tuscany, this Riserva represents one of Italy's emerging appellations: Montecucco DOC, where Sangiovese-based wines benefit from altitude (150-400 meters), lava-rich soils, and breezes from both central Italy and the Tyrrhenian coast. The blend is 80% Sangiovese with Merlot, Syrah, and Petit Verdot, aged 18 months in large oak. The 2015 vintage was exceptional across Tuscany—warm enough for full ripeness, with August rains that preserved freshness. Now a decade old and drinking in its sweet spot.

Antonio Galloni

90 points

"A blend of cherry sauce, cloves, mint, dried tangerine and hints of animal musk waft up from the 2015 Rosso Riserva Impostino Montecucco. Its silky textures rush the palate with mineral-tinged red fruits and spices, seeming to drench the senses in primary concentration, as brisk acids work to maintain balance. The result is one of decadent pleasure, yet harmonious and coloring within the lines of classicism, as this tapers off dry and lightly structured, with hints of cranberry and balsam herbs lingering. This is a blend of 80% Sangiovese and a mix of Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot." —Eric Guido
