Tasting Notes: The more powerful, virile side of Chianti comes through in the Monteraponi Chianti Classico Riserva Baron'ugo. An intense bouquet of red fruity aromas of cherry and red currants, and of lifted floral notes of violet. Cedar and tobacco notes fold seemlessly into the finish.

Estate History: The wine called Chianti came originally from just three villages, Radda, Castellina and Gaiole, located between Florence and Siena. Monteraponi is in Radda; the vineyards are at high altitude (from 400-500 meters above sea level), and the wines are carefully made in a very natural way, which is to say no added yeast, nutrients, or malolactic bacteria are used, fermentation takes place in cement tanks, followed by long macerations (even the Chianti Classico is kept on the skins for at least 25 days), the wines are aged in large oak only, and they are not fined or filtered. Only indigenous varieties are used; Sangiovese principally, of course, with the addition of a little Canaiolo and Colorino. These are vibrant, intensely flavorful, thoughtfully made, distinctive wines, some of the best examples of Chianti Classico.
