A modern wine estate with outstanding ratings since 1962. Monsanto produces the highly ragarded single-vinyard wine and available from 1964 only in the best vintages. This wine comes from a selection of grapes from vineyards which are more suitable for long maturing. Vinified in steel with a maceration of about 20 days, and aged in smaller wooden barrels for about 18 months, to then rest for a minimum of 3 months in bottle.

The 2012 Chianti Classico Riserva shows pretty layers of intensity and wild fruit, a pure and genuine expression. Red rose petal emerges from the bouquet as do wild spice, blackcurrant, forest floor and black truffle. The mouthfeel is silky and softly caressing. 90 points – Monica Larner
