Monte Antico Toscano 2020

Santa Lucia, Pisa, Tuscany, ItalyMonte Antico was founded in 1977 by Neil and Maria Empson, spurred on by their love for Tuscany. The Empsons asked a longtime friend, famed winemaker Franco Bernabei, to style a blend of 85/10/5 sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon, and merlot. Most years, this wine overdelivers for its price and role as a mid-week dinner wine. It is soft sangiovese with bright red cherries and plums, and a subtle dusting of oak. Ready to drink with a funghi pizza or pasta dish. Good value.Tasted: 23 August 2025Tasted by: Prices:
