Chianti Classico Riserva 2020 MG, Castello di Monsanto
A monumental red for rigor and depth. The olfactory profile alternates between pure red fruits and an iron-like minerality of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between volume and freshness. A stylish example that confirms Monsanto among the absolute top of Chianti Classico.
Chianti Classico Riserva 2020 MG, Castello di Monsanto
The Castello di Monsanto Chianti Classico Riserva 2020, here presented in the Magnum format, is the archetype of Tuscan elegance. This label is made from the best grapes from the estate's vineyards, located on stony, schistous soils. The Magnum format ensures a slower and more harmonious evolution, preserving intact the acidic tension that makes the wines of this estate legendary. The 2020 vintage has delivered a masterful balance between fruit and structure. On the nose, it is a tapestry of aromas: crisp cherry, violet, and orange peel blend with deep notes of blonde tobacco, white pepper, and a noble, earthy, and slightly metallic trail. On the palate, it is sumptuous, almost silky; the entry is broad, immediately guided by a dense and noble tannic structure that unfolds into a savory, balsamic finish with extraordinary aromatic persistence.
