Navle Tenuta Santa Caterina DOC Monferrato Rosso
The outstanding quality of the 2013
Navlè Tenuta Santa Caterina
Monferrato Rosso is immediately clear
with a luxurious bouquet of rose petal,
dried cherry, plum, raspberry and
leather. On the palate, developed notes
of dried red fruit, salumi, leather and
spice are interwoven with fresh cherry,
strawberry and raspberry highlights.
Polished tannins and fresh acidity
seamlessly knit the experience together. I would be confident
contributing this bottle to any occasion.
This is an unforgettable wine, and
tasting it truly made my day.
Navle Tenuta Santa Caterina DOC Monferrato Rosso
Prior to 2019, the red wines of Monferrato were referred to as “Rosso,” not by grape variety. But make no mistake: this is Nebbiolo at its finest. Expectedly, the 2014 Navlè Tenuta Santa Caterina Monferrato Rosso is presenting as slightly more youthful than its 2013 sibling, but the family resemblance remains apparent. An aromatic bouquet of cherry, raspberry, spice, leather and tea greets the nose while fresh, and dried red fruit, tea and rose petal nuances layer the palate. Confident tannins and lively acidity frame the fruit core. While all the elements are in perfect balance, another year or two in cellar will allow for their thorough integration.
