Monteraponi takes it name from the mountain on which it sits. At an average of 470 meters the vineyard dominates the Arbia Valley. These may be the most inspiring pure Chianti wines we’ve come across since Felsina. Yes, a shout out to another portfolio… Grapes here are farmed organically, high elevation, indigenous yeasts, cement tanks and large cask.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.
