Many of you may have met the man behind Montesecondo at our Louis/Dressner tasting in October, where his wine proved to be a customer favorite of the evening. Kind and soft spoken, with an articulate and thoughtful delivery, he began his winemaking career in 1990 when he took over his family's estate. Slowly and meticulously converting to organics and eventually biodynamics.
Cabernet has always been planted in his vineyards. The idea of crafting a wine from this grape was not a decision Silvio made based on trends or market demand. These were vines he inherited from his father.
"Cabernet Sauvignon from Tuscany, be it from a more coastal terroir like Bolgheri or the densely wooded hills of Chianti, is no mere novelty—there is a real affinity of grape and place here, creating wines that don’t much resemble Bordeaux or Napa, but don’t suffer for it in the least." -David Lynch, former Wine Director at Babbo, NYC
