Producer Overview:
Neapolitan-born brothers Domenico and Giovan Battista Basile bought 85 acres of land in the Cinigiano area of the Maremma in 1999, not far from the Tuscan coast. Currently, Domenico runs the sales and marketing aspects of the winery, while Giovan Battista manages the vineyards and vines. The vineyards, which all enjoy southwestern exposures at altitudes between 1,100 and 1,250 feet, are situated on limestone galestro soils and are organically farmed, in adherence with the CCPB Global Program.
Wines:
The 2020 Montecucco Sangiovese Cartacanta is a pleasure on the nose, wafting up with sweet rose and violet tones, incense and dried strawberries. It is seamlessly silky, driven by a core of vibrant acidity as a saturation of tart cherry adds a more tactile feel. It finishes perfumed and wonderfully fresh, leaving suggestions of licorice and spice to slowly fade. 90 Points, Eric Guifo
