Montevertine 2022

The "Montevertine" is the finesse and personality of Chianti Sangiovese, expressed in one of its best forms. Its success is due, in fact, to its extraordinary qualities of complexity and refinement, which have managed to pay tribute to a winery, Montevertine, and to a land, that of Chianti Classico. More precisely, the winery is located in Radda in Chianti, nestled among magical hills painted by vineyards. The sunshine of the Tuscan land translates into a glass of this red that, from its land, also brings that magical charm that makes it a unicum not only in Italy but also throughout the rest of the world.

The "Montevertine" Red is obtained from a grape blend that follows one of the traditionally made blends for Chianti Classico, namely 90% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo, and 5% Colorino. The grapes come from a vineyard area of 2.5 hectares, defined by rows with southeast and south exposure. The harvest is carried out manually and, once transported to the winery, the grapes are pressed and transformed into must. This ferments in cement tanks for about twenty days, before proceeding to the maturation phase for about 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels.

The wine "Montevertine" presents a bright and lively ruby red color. On the nose, the bouquet expresses fruity tones of raspberry, cherry, and currant, followed by spicy notes of juniper, licorice, and a vegetal trace reminiscent of moss and fern. The sip confirms the complex texture, evident in a composed tannin and a full and enveloping body. It is a fresh, balanced wine with great taste. Difficult to give up such a pearl.
