Monte Antico Toscana Bianco 2024

94 Points, Luca Maroni – 90 Points (Best Buy), Wine Enthusiast 90 Points, James Suckling

The 2024 Monte Antico Bianco is totally different than most of the white wines you’re going to find throughout Tuscany, and I love that about it. It’s a racy blend of Malvasia, Vermentino, and Trebbiano that brings together peach and tropical fruit, coastal saltiness, and bright lemon zest acidity seamlessly. Wine Enthusiast gave it 90 points and a Best Buy designation, calling out “ginger, white florals, and papaya on the nose with almond skin and citrus on the palate.” Suckling came in at 90 points calling it “medium-bodied and creamy with fresh acidity.” And Italian critic Luca Maroni took it a few steps further, giving this beauty 94 points. This is a serious Italian white at a price that makes no sense whatsoever!

This is so juicy and delicious – almost too easy to drink. Great with food and versatile for different occasions and discerning palates. Medium-bodied and silky with dark cherry, leather, spices, soft tannins, and balanced structure. A pizza wine that punches far above its price tag.
