Monteraponi, nestled in Radda in Chianti, is celebrated for its commitment to traditional winemaking and organic practices, producing wines that authentically express the Chianti Classico terroir.
- WINEMAKER: Michele Braganti
- FARMING: Organic
- VARIETY: 95% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo
- TERROIR: Vines are planted at elevations between 400 and 500 meters on calcareous, stony, and marly soils rich in alberese and galestro, contributing to the wine's minerality and freshness.
- VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in cement tanks, followed by maceration on the skins for about 25 days.
- AGING: Aged for 16 months in large Slavonian oak casks, allowing for gentle oxygenation and integration of flavors.
- TASTING NOTES: The wine presents a pale red, crystalline hue. Aromas of violet, green pepper, and raspberry lead to a palate where pronounced minerality harmonizes with the freshness imparted by the calcareous soils. It's full-bodied yet elegant, with silky tannins enhancing its refined character.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Complements traditional Tuscan dishes such as pappardelle al cinghiale (wild boar pasta), bistecca alla Fiorentina, and aged Pecorino cheese.
