Description
Monteraponi Chianti Classico 2022 presents a beautiful pale ruby red. Clear aromas of rose, violet, sandalwood which are typical of Radda wines. In the mouth, the freshness and silky tannins make it a good companion for red meats, certainly, but also for pasta dishes and roast chicken.
Monteraponi is one of the most beautiful cellars of Radda in Chianti.
The vineyards are located at considerable heights, from 400-500 meters above sea level, and the wines are made in a natural way, i.e. without the addition of yeasts, nutrients or anything other than what is found in the vineyard.
Fermentation takes place in concrete, followed by long macerations (even the Chianti Classico Monteraponi vintage remains in contact with the skins for at least 25 days). The refinement of the wines takes place in large barrels. No filtration. The varieties present are only the native ones.
Sangiovese mostly, of course, with some Canaiolo and Colorino added. They are vibrant wines, intensely flavoursome, thoughtful and full of character. Without a doubt some of the best examples of Chianti Classico.
