Riserva 1990 Montevertine

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (89)

The 1990 Riserva is the most open and easy to drink of the trio of wines from Sergio Manetti (although all of the wines are flattering and accessible). A blend of Sangioveto and Canaiolo, the Riserva is lighter-bodied and less intense than Le Pergole Torte and Il Sodaccio. It should drink well for 7-8 years. The 1990s from proprietor Sergio Manetti are the finest I have tasted from this high profile Tuscan producer. All three wines exhibit considerable ripeness, as well as wonderfully layered, textured palates with gobs of ripe black-cherry fruit intertwined with spicy new oak.
