Tasting Notes
Technology is used sparingly and thoughtfully at Monteraponi. Ferments always begin naturally and without temperature control, taking place in concrete, both in large traditional vats and modern cone-shaped containers made by French manufacturer Nomblot. After extended maceration times of around 25 days for the Chianti Classico, ageing occurs in large-format Austrian and Burgundian oak barrels.
The resulting wine is an exercise in defined elegance. Refreshing acidity is always a feature, highlighting an incredible purity of fruit, ranging from classic red cherry to blood orange and amplified by floral notes of violet and rose, with subtle leather and herb accenting. This is a wine that balances austere detail with a vibrant Tuscan lushness. This Chianti Classico delivers a wine that is almost Burgundian (controversial!) in its textural quality and with a profound ability to communicate a sense of time and place. - Importer Note
