1995-2003. Campanian superstar wine Montevetrano burst onto the scene in 1995 and achieved cult status almost overnight. Italian photographer Silvio Imparato initially had just 4 hectares of vines south of Naples and made a little wine in 1991. Encouraged by the results she hired winemaker Ricardo Cotarella to help with the 1992 vintage. In 1995 she sent vintages 1991/1993 to Robert Parker who gave it a high score and famously called it the Sassacaia of the south. With this, the wine became sought after overnight.
