Chianti Classico Riserva Sa'etta 2021, Monte Bernardi
A monumental red known for its rigor and territorial transparency. The olfactory profile alternates crunchy red fruits with an extremely refined stony minerality. On the palate, it is tense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the verticality of the sip and the nobility of the tannin. A display of strength that celebrates the biodynamic purity of Sangiovese.
Chianti Classico Riserva Sa'etta 2021, Monte Bernardi
The Chianti Classico Riserva "Sa'etta" 2021 from Monte Bernardi is an extraordinary expression of the Panzano in Chianti terroir, interpreted with the biodynamic sensitivity of Michael Schmelzer. Sa'etta takes its name from the unique soil composition of the vineyard, rich in sandstone and pebbles that reflect light and heat. The 2021 vintage has highlighted the vertical nature of this cru. On the nose, it is an explosion of finesse: clear notes of blood orange, wild cherry, and pomegranate blend with hints of flint, medicinal herbs, and a subtle iron and mineral trace. On the palate, it is sumptuous in its dynamism; the entry is brisk, almost sharp, supported by a very dense, chalky, and extremely elegant tannic structure. The finish is endless, marked by a saline iodized quality and a balsamic return that cleanses the palate with aristocratic freshness.
