Castello di Monsanto 's Chianti Classico 2022 DOCG captures the soul of Sangiovese in the historic Chianti Classico hills. The glass reveals a brilliant ruby color with subtle purple highlights. The nose reveals aromas of fresh cherry, raspberry, Mediterranean herbs, and a delicate note of graphite that adds depth. On the palate, it is harmonious and well-balanced: refined tannins, vibrant acidity, and a savory finish that invites further sips. The vineyards' galestro terroir, combined with the meticulous Guyot and spurred cordon training, lends energy and finesse. It is a wine perfect for drinking young, but also capable of aging well into 2030 and beyond.


 Conventional Production Method . The grapes come from a blend of approximately 90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo & Colorino. The harvest is manual, with careful selection of the bunches. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled, truncated cone-shaped steel tanks, with délestage and pumping over for approximately 18-20 days. The wine then ages for 12-15 months in large Slavonian oak barrels before bottling.


 Pairings: Ideal with Tuscan first courses such as pappardelle with ragù, roast white meats or turkey, grilled veal, Tuscan cured meats, and semi-mature cheeses. A versatile wine that pairs well with both refined everyday dining and convivial occasions.
