Montepeloso Description
Gabbro embodies the essence of our noblest Cabernet Sauvignon vines, some of which are over 40 years old. It represents our ambition to produce a Cabernet Sauvignon that can hold its own with the best in the world. This wine is matured for 18 months in 80% new wood. We also use 400-litre barrels as well as barriques. The wine is subsequently stored in the bottle, usually for about nine months.
James Suckling: 97 Points
Gorgeous aromas of currants, flowers, bark and pine needles. Crushed stone. Full-bodied with crunchy and chewy tannins as well as fresh mushroom and spices. Dark fruits with graphite. Lead pencil. Fresh tannins that are vertical. 100% cabernet sauvignon. Drink after 2027 but already so enticing to taste.
Vinous: 97 Points
The 2021 Gabbro is another hugely promising 2021 from Fabio Chiarelotto. Deep, sensual and layered, the 2021 offers up a heady mix of dark fruit intermingled with scents of tobacco, scorched earth, leather, incense and menthol. Potent and yet quite elegant, the 2021 has a ton going on. It's another super-elegant wine from Montepeloso. Superb.
