Castello di Montepo Montepaone Scansano 1997 - 0,75l

Castello di Montepo Montepaone Scansano 1997 is an elegant Tuscan red that brings together Sangiovese’s classic regional character with the depth and structure of Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 24 months in French oak, it offers the kind of complexity and refinement that make mature Italian reds so rewarding to open on a special occasion.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red color with the beginnings of brick-toned maturity. The nose is layered and expressive, combining ripe dark fruit with spice, cedar, and subtle toasted oak notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet polished, with balanced acidity, well-integrated tannins, and a long, graceful finish. The wine’s structure and depth suggest it still has attractive drinking potential, especially for those who appreciate evolved, bottle-aged reds with complexity and finesse.

Production
Produced in Tuscany, this wine reflects the character of the Scansano area, where warm Mediterranean influence and well-drained soils help grapes reach full ripeness while preserving freshness. The blend is based on Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon adding body and backbone, and the wine was matured for 24 months in French oak barrels before bottling.

Food & Serving
Ideal with roasted red meats, game dishes, and mature cheeses, this wine is best served at around 16–18°C. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended to allow the aromas to open fully and to soften the wine’s mature structure.

Producer
Castello di Montepo is associated with quality Tuscan winemaking and a strong respect for regional tradition. Known for crafting wines with character, balance, and longevity, the producer has helped showcase the potential of Scansano as a source of serious, age-worthy reds.
