Montecorneo 570, Tevere Era Ora Wine 2023

Montecorneo 570 Tevere Era Ora Wine 2023 is a bright, modern white from the rolling hills of Umbria, crafted to showcase freshness, purity and a clear sense of place. Named after the Tevere (Tiber) River that winds past the estate, this cuvée captures the cooling influence and unique microclimate that define Montecorneo’s vineyards. A blend of native Grechetto and Pinot Grigio, it bridges local tradition with a contemporary, naturally minded approach to winemaking, produced in very limited quantities.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Tevere Era Ora 2023 shows a pale straw to light lemon hue with subtle green reflections, signalling its youthful vibrancy. The nose is immediately inviting, offering crisp green apple, lemon zest and juicy pear layered with white blossom, a hint of fresh herbs and a delicate, stony minerality. On the palate, this is a dry, medium‑bodied white with a lively, mouth‑watering acidity. Grechetto brings texture and a gentle savoury depth, while Pinot Grigio contributes bright, pure fruit and lift. Flavours of citrus, green apple and underripe peach are underscored by a clean, mineral backbone and a subtly herbal finish. The 2023 vintage, marked by warm days and cool nights, lends both ripeness and tension, making the wine especially expressive in its youth. While primarily made for early drinking over the next 2–3 years to enjoy its energy and aromatics, it has enough structure and acidity to evolve gracefully in bottle for a short period, gaining a touch of complexity and roundness.

Production
Tevere Era Ora is sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards around Montecorneo in Umbria, where well‑drained, calcareous clay soils impart natural freshness, structure and a saline edge to the wine. The nearby Tevere River helps moderate temperatures, with warm summer days and cool nights preserving aromatic intensity and acidity. Grapes are harvested by hand in the cool early morning hours to protect delicate aromas and ensure careful selection in the vineyard. After a gentle pressing, the juice is fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel, emphasizing purity of fruit and preserving the natural varietal character of Grechetto and Pinot Grigio. The wine rests briefly on its fine lees in tank, adding subtle texture and complexity before a clean, unadorned bottling that reflects Montecorneo 570’s sustainable, low‑intervention philosophy.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile, food‑friendly white that shines alongside light, fresh dishes. Pair it with simply grilled or baked white fish, seafood crudo, shrimp, mussels, or classic Italian preparations like spaghetti alle vongole. It also works beautifully with salads, vegetable antipasti, asparagus, fresh goat’s cheese, burrata, and mild white‑rind cheeses. Serve well‑chilled at 8–10 °C to highlight its crispness and aromatic lift. Decanting is not necessary, though opening the bottle a few minutes before serving allows the floral and herbal notes to unfurl in the glass.
