Monterotondo Vigna Vaggiolata Chianti Classic
| Vintage: | 2019 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Organically Farmed. 85% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo, 5% Malvasia Nera. "Broad bright red color, fairly dark for Sangiovese (due to the long maceration, apparently); complex aroma and flavor of cherries, tea leaf, spices, hint of mint. On the palate this has the weight and beefy structure of a Riserva, very long and complex. Cries out for bistecca alla fiorentina. Monterotondo is a hill high on the south-east corner of the Chianti Classico appellation, in the commune of Gaiole. Saverio Basagni and his wife Fabiana took over the Monterotondo estate in 1994- it had been a sort of family hobby for his father and grandfather - and make extraordinary wine, using an unusual technique of very long macerations with the skins. The results are deep, concentrated, and exciting. Vegan; unfiltered, naturally cold stabilized during winter in stainless steel tank. 120-day maceration for Sangiovese ; 3 weeks for other grapes. Aged 2 years in large Slavonian oak vats. |
