Monte Antico Rosso Toscana IGT 2020
Vintage Character
Monte Antico Rosso Toscana IGT 2020 is a Toscana IGT red that captures the broad, classic sweep of Tuscan blending, combining Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The 2020 vintage in Tuscany is widely regarded as a strong, balanced year, with a generally warm growing season tempered by enough freshness to preserve fruit definition and keep the wine poised rather than heavy. Its identity comes from fruit drawn from multiple Tuscan zones, including Maremma, the Colline Pisane, and the Chianti hills, a sourcing approach that layers ripe Mediterranean generosity with the brightness and savory edge that make Tuscan reds so appealing.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
On the nose, expect ripe black cherry, red plum, wild berries, violet, and a touch of dried herbs, followed by subtle vanilla, toast, and sweet spice. The palate is medium-bodied and supple, with Sangiovese-driven acidity giving lift to the darker fruit supplied by Cabernet and the roundness contributed by Merlot; tannins are polished, and the finish carries notes of spice, earth, and a faint leathery nuance. This is an easy wine to enjoy but not simplistic, offering genuine Tuscan character at very attractive value. Pair it with grilled lamb chops, pappardelle with wild boar ragu, or mushroom risotto.
Winery Background
Monte Antico was created in 1977 by Neil and Maria Empson in collaboration with celebrated enologist Franco Bernabei, with the aim of offering an authentic, accessible expression of Tuscany rather than a single-estate statement. Bernabei, often associated with a refined, site-sensitive interpretation of Sangiovese, shaped the house style toward balance, drinkability, and regional fidelity. The wine is typically made from carefully selected fruit across Tuscany, with temperature-controlled fermentation and a measured period of aging in oak and tank to preserve fruit while adding texture and gentle complexity. What makes Monte Antico distinctive is its ability to translate respected Tuscan know-how into a reliably characterful, versatile red at scale.
