Really enjoyed this one. Bright fruit, cherries, integrated tannins. Tasty. — 7 years ago
Paired very nicely with lamb sausage pasta, Veal Milanese, and a red sauce rigatoni. Little bite at the beginning but pairs nicely as it breathes. — 8 months ago
The 2016 Gabbro, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, is one of the most compelling wines I have ever tasted from Montepeloso. In most prior vintages, Gabbro has been rich and concentrated, but the 2016 flows with a sense of total refinement. Wild flowers, herbs, licorice, lavender, graphite and spice add myriad shades of dimension to a core of dark, beautifully resonant fruit. A wine of real gravitas and structure, the 2016 is going to require a number of years to be at its best, but it is stunning, even in the early going. In fact, I am simply blown away by how integrated it already is. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2020)

Perfect with pasta and veal chop from Porcini. One of the better Italian meals I’ve had. Dry and dark fruit and good finish. Definite food wine. Bourbon trip 2024. — 4 months ago
