Monte Antico 'Supremus' Toscana IGT 2018
Vintage Character
Supremus Toscana IGT 2018 is a Super Tuscan from Toscana IGT, blending Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in a style that marries regional identity with Bordeaux-inspired depth. The 2018 vintage in Tuscany was generally more classical than opulent, with a growing season that favored freshness and aromatic definition over sheer power, making it an appealing vintage for balance and性價比. Sourced from selected Tuscan vineyard sites, the wine draws character from the region’s warm days, cooling nighttime shifts, and varied galestro- and clay-influenced soils, which help combine ripe fruit with structure and lift.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The nose opens with black cherry, plum, red currant and violet, followed by cedar, vanilla and a touch of sweet tobacco. On the palate it is full-bodied yet composed, with supple texture, medium-high acidity and polished tannins framing flavors of dark berries, herbs and subtle oak spice; the finish is persistent, savory and finely tapered. This is a versatile red at table, pairing especially well with grilled lamb chops, pappardelle with wild boar ragù, or roast duck.
Winery Background
Supremus is a flagship Tuscan project associated with Neil and Maria Empson, long respected for championing fine Italian wine internationally, and the wine has been shaped by the hand of noted enologist Franco Bernabei, often called “Mr. Sangiovese.” The philosophy is to capture the richness of a modern Super Tuscan without losing Tuscan poise, using carefully selected fruit, temperature-controlled fermentation and élevage in French oak to knit fruit, spice and structure together. Its distinction lies in that balance: international polish anchored by Sangiovese’s energy and unmistakably Tuscan character.
