Tasting Guide

In the magnum sea of Italian wine, not all wines behave in the same way.
We use the verb 'behave' because at Tenuta Montauto we are convinced that wine has its own behavioural trends and, by virtue of this peculiarity, is comparable to human beings or, at most, to animals with which it shares what, in biology, is called ethology as a set of
customs and habits.

Our wine behaves just like a living beingIt has phases of openness and expressiveness and others more silent, of closure; it is affected by seasonal transitions, weather, it loves oxygen.

Like everything that exists in nature, Tenuta Montauto wine has a phase of peculiar shyness, of olfactory reticence, in the winter months, especially in January and February.
Like the plants, trees and flowers, it then opens up again with the first warmth and, with the arrival of May, becomes coquettish, to define itself in June and July, when it reaches its most expressive phase.

However, ours are wines made to age. This is demonstrated, among other things, by the privileged relationship they have with oxygen.

Following a large number of empirical tests, developed internally within the company, we found, for example, that our wine loves oxygen.
Many days after opening, in fact, there is no oxidation or organoleptic decline, quite the opposite in fact.

This is especially true of our Sauvignon Blancs Gessaia and Enos, powerful nectars of terroir which, a few days after their opening and tasted after some time, have shown great changes, and always improving, demonstrating incredible aromatic evolutions.

This is important, and peculiar, because most wines on the market, on the other hand, not only do not have this dynamism but in contact with oxygen, after some time, tend to deteriorate.

Our grapes, on the other hand, harvested and selected by hand, cultivated according to nature and vinified with the sole, very strict criterion of the wholesomeness of the musts, return a living wine capable of becoming more complex over time and with which to toast long after it has been uncorked.

Prosit - provobis! - from Tenuta Montauto!
