Monte Antico has been a consistent entry in this journal's pages. The just-released 1990 exhibits the mouthfilling, medium to full-bodied, supple style that has made Monte Antico both a delicious red wine and a terrific wine bargain. It possesses a big, smoky, roasted herb, and black-cherry-scented nose, chewy, intensely flavorful, robust flavors, decent acidity, light tannin, and a velvety-textured finish. It comes across as a hypothetical blend of a top-notch Chianti Classico and a Brunello di Montalcino. Interestingly, only a 12-foot stream separates the Monte Antico vineyard from the vineyards of Brunello di Montalcino. The 1990 Monte Antico Rosso should drink well for 3-4 years. This wine merits buying by the case. Don't miss it! Importer: Empson, USA, Inc., Alexandria, VA.

Long-time readers know this perennial overachiever to be one of my favorite wineries. This Vino da Tavola can compete with Tuscan Chiantis and even Brunello di Montalcinos that sell for three to five times the price. The 1988, from a top vintage, exhibits a wonderfully complex, leathery, earthy, rich fruitiness in the nose, full-bodied, generously endowed flavors, an enthralling spiciness and richness, and a long, robust finish. Drink this complex, immensely enjoyable wine over the next 5-6 years.
