First Glance: Dark Fruit, Violet, Velvety, Spice
The Wine:
The flagship wine of the estate always punches well above its weight and has a great capacity to age. Mostly Sangiovese with small amounts of Canaiolo and Colorino, it is aged in both concrete and large casks 12-14 months. The fruit in Monti in Chianti is always on the darker side of the spectrum for Chianti Classico, with more plum and black cherry. The palate balances the dark fruit with refreshing savouriness and silky tannins.
The Review:
Decanter Magazine - 93pts
"On the nose, it shows spectacular purity and vibrancy, a cornucopia of dark purple fruit with violet and lilac scents. This delicious treat for the palate is almost grapey in flavour with a lot of fruit sweetness. Black cherry and boysenberry meet soft, velvety tannins that you can bite into. The juicy acidity supports the fleshy flavour and a hint of pepper plays around it. A must buy!"
