Monte Antico is a Tuscany I’ve tipped for some time. I love its fruity taste, like the chiantis I enjoy, but with a little more body. It's a nice wine for the coming spring when you begin to budget your money for long weekends and an upcoming vacation and still would like to taste something other than a wine cooler of God forbid a Bud. It's a good left-handed pitcher to call in for the first game of spring-training.
I've done a little research on-line and found that the Wine Spectator gives it an 88 saying:
"Lovely plum and berry character, with loads of ripe fruit. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long finish. Delicious. Best ever under this label. A super Tuscan value."
I also found this review. It's on the 2000, but the 2001 is as good, if not better.
To temperance . . . in moderation.
