The sensory profile of Core 2019 is progressive and pressing, showing mixed floral and fruity scents that definitely fill the glass. Powerful in the notes of papaya, peaches and broom, it perfectly blends the secondary profile in the nuances of jasmine and acacia. Spicy in the three-dimensionality of the frame it gives hints of white pepper and coriander. Full, round and fat body in the wine matrix shows power and precision well blended with a delicate and sweet finish in the luminous finish. A blend of 50% Fiano and 50% Greco. Producer Information Proprietress Silvia Imparato indulged in wine as a hobby until she decided to rebuild her familys vineyards in Montevetrano, in the oft-underestimated region of Campania. She employed the skills of highly regarded winemaker Riccardo Cotarella and they have created an outstanding icon wine they decided to name Montevetrano. Montevetrano is a small zone in the hills near the commune of San Cipriano Picentino, not far from Salerno. Mountains surround the property, with the vineyards situated on gentle slopes facing south by southwest. The heart of the estate is a beautiful, ancient villa. In the first years of production the basement of the villa also served as the cellar. Now the wine is made and stored in a new modern cellar, built in 2000. Silvia and her friends use the old cellar for private vintages. Within a very short period of time her work with Cotarella has produced an absolute jewel in this location. Between the end of September and the start of October, Montevetrano first harvests the Merlot grape, followed by the Cabernet Sauvignon and finally the Aglianico. Fermentation initially occurs in steel vats for about 15 days, after which the wine is transferred to new barrels for 10-12 months. The process is traditional but also strictly controlled, guaranteeing proper refinement and a balanced maturation. The process also ensures the grapes retain the regional features typical of Montevetrano. Cotarella is particularly proud of this wine, being the very first icon wine he has made; he considers it the father of his reds.
