Monte Antico IGT 2019-Red Wine-World Wine
Monte Antico IGT 2019

we90

Wine Enthusiast – 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.

James Suckling – 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 – The 2021 Bolgheri Rosso is floral with ripe raspberry and boysenberry, pine, violet, and balsamic. It is medium to full bodied, with nice concentration in its notes of black cherry, red plum, and turned earth. A great value that packs a lot of wine for the dollar, it is a great introduction to the style of the estate.

Wine Enthusiast – Heavy reduction on the nose of this wine meets blackberries, violets, gravel and tar, while vanilla sneaks out later. The palate is a chocolaty-berry blend with heat both peppery and spicy, then pivots elegantly to vanilla and baking spices. Dense but not cloying, it has pliant tannins and glittering acid.

James Suckling – This has gorgeous aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, peppercorns, cloves, mocha, hazelnuts and dried herbs. Polished and creamy, with a medium to full body and firm, velvety tannins. Long, supple and elegant. Delicious already, but better from 2024.

James Suckling – Aromas of blackberries and licorice with some sage and Tuscan rosemary follow through to a full body with integrated tannins that are polished and creamy. Lovely balance and length.

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot, the Castello di Querceto 2018 Cignale ("wild boar" in Italian) offers beautiful depth and balance. This is a boldly layered Tuscan red that ages in French oak for 18 months. Sweet baking spice, dark chocolate and blackberry confit emerge from the core of this nicely concentrated red.

James Suckling – Very attractive nose with ripe blackcurrants, spiced chocolate, grilled thyme, hazelnuts and bacon. Notes of tobacco and cedar, too. Full-bodied, so refined and polished with layers of finely chiselled tannins spread evenly across the wine and beautifully integrated. Blooming fruit with spicy herbs, peppermint and violets. Very long and persistent with a steady, mineral sensation in the finish. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – The 2020 Biserno is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and a small part Petit Verdot. This is an enriched and profound wine with round tones of black fruit, spice, cured tobacco and tarry smoke. Biserno is shapely and generous with a full-bodied approach that is accented by crushed stone and pencil shaving. You get a lot of intensity and texture with this opulent, cellar-worthy wine.

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – "The 2020 Il Pino di Biserno is bold and ripe with creamy blackberry, candied cherry, spice and tarry smoke. There are pressed roses, blood oranges and tea leaves buried deep inside. The tannins are pronounced, but this full-bodied Tuscan red is almost ready to go straight out of the gate." - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

Italy's winemaking legacy spans thousands of years, with each region boasting its distinct characteristics and traditions. From the northern alpine terrains of Alto Adige to the southern volcanic soils of Campania, the country offers a vast palette of flavors and styles. One of Italy's most renowned wine regions, Tuscany, is home to the famed Sangiovese grape, the primary constituent of Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino. Meanwhile, Piedmont in the northwest is celebrated for its robust and age-worthy Barolos and Barbarescos, made from the Nebbiolo grape. Further south, the island of Sicily brings forth wines made from indigenous grapes like Nero d'Avola and Grillo, reflecting the island's rich history and multicultural influences. The diversity in Italy's wine offerings is not just about grape varieties but also the winemaking methods. While some producers adhere to age-old traditions, others embrace modern techniques, resulting in wines that are both innovative and reflective of their terroir. This harmonious blend of old and new, tradition and innovation, has solidified Italy's position as a wine powerhouse, offering bottles that resonate with both connoisseurs and novices.
Italy is the largest wine-producing country, making 30% more wine than the number two and three spots, Spain and France. Italy is also amongst the most prominent wine consumers and exporters. Italy is a synonym for wine, and Italian wine has no equal in terms of variety, quality and prestige. Italy is home to hundreds of unique wine grapes not found anywhere else, so Italian wine is hard to replicate. For the real deal, you must try what comes out of the country’s cellars, and that’s quite an adventure.   Italian wine can be red, white or rosé; dry, semi-sweet or dessert-like; still or bubbly. There’s an Italian wine for every palate, budget and occasion. Let’s talk about the most popular Italian wines and how to find the best wines for you.
The most famous wines in Italy vary depending on what you’re looking for. For age-worthy red wines, those from Piedmont, made with Nebbiolo, or the many expressions of Sangiovese, in Tuscany, are a great start. For crisp white wines, few regions are so dependable as Veneto, Friuli and the Trentino Alto Adige. Even warm southern Italy is the source of striking white and red wine.  The most popular Italian wines are often labelled as DOCG; they’re the best of the best. Of course, there is good wine at the DOC and IGT levels, and they’re rarely as pricey as DOCG wines. 
Italian wine can be classified by region, as all twenty regions in the country produce wine. Some regions, such as Tuscany, Piedmont and Sicily, have gained recognition for full-bodied red wines. Still, even these regions produce white wine.  Interestingly, Italian wine styles are often compatible with the food typical of their region. Wine and food are two sides of the same coin, and that’s particularly true for Italy.  For sparkling wine, look for Prosecco. For a nice red, Barolo, Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino are worthy of memorable occasions. And then we have all types of wine for everyday enjoyment, from wine from Sardinia to that made up on the foothills of the Alps. 
Most Italian wine is not expensive, as it is part of people's diet. Everyday wine in Italy is as good as any, but the most memorable wines, those from prestigious sites, can undoubtedly be expensive. Brunello di Montalcino, Barolo, Barbaresco, Amarone Della Valpolicella, Franciacorta and the famous Super Tuscans are among the best and most notorious Italian wines. They’re on the expensive side. Fair value wine comes from every Italian region, but Chianti, Valpolicella, Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and the wines coming from Sicily and Sardinia are also well priced and spectacular. 
The best Italian wines depend on what you need. Robust red wines, sparkling wines or dessert wines. The country has it all. To ensure you get the good stuff, source wine at the DOC and DOCG levels. However, wine at IGT levels is often good for casual get-togethers. To find the best Italian wines, explore our collection at World Wine. The best source of Italian wine in Australia.
