Monsanto Chianti Classico

Description

An accessible example of the unique style and character of Castello di Monsanto wines, this multi-faceted wine can be enjoyed straight away or left to develop and evolve as the years roll by. It is the wine house’s most widely produced wine by far, underlining our company’s belief in Sangiovese, which acquires a strength and an energy from the terroir that must be patiently awaited. One of the oldest wines in Italy, it appeared on the market in the 1960s and has become an ambassador for the entire denomination around the world. It is an estate grown blend of 90% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo and Colorino which makes it rich, intense and complex with excellent depth of red berry fruit, distinct spice, outstanding acidity and nicely weighted tannins. It is the perfect accompaniment for meat dishes, nuts and cheese.
