Product Notes

The Monteraponi Chianti Classico is an exemplary Italian wine, emanating from the picturesque Tuscan vineyards. It possesses a rich ruby hue, swirling with notes of ripe cherries and tangy raspberries. Subtle undertones of herbs and earth infuse this tipple, along with a trace of leather that adds complexity. The wine strikes a balance between lushness and refreshing acidity, while the tannins are well-integrated. Savour the fruity elegance and the persistence of the Monteraponi Chianti Classico's finish. Persistently refined, this wine delivers a classic Chianti experience, it is a quintessential companion to Italian cuisine.

Tasting Notes

Crystal-clear, pale red-colored. The nose offers intense notes of violet, green pepper and raspberry. The strong minerality on the palate blends wonderfully with the freshness given by the calcareous, stony and marly soil. Long-lasting, full-bodied and structured, but enjoyable and not overwhelming on the palate, owing to the silky and soft tannins that bring out the wine’s elegance.
