The Story
Still red from Tuscany IGT, 14.5% ABV, produced by Castello di Monsanto. 100% Sangiovese. 0.75L bottle, 2018 vintage. A Sangiovese that embodies the history and passion of a family that has helped shape the history of Chianti Classico. Vinification in temperature-controlled, truncated cone-shaped stainless steel vats with a delestage system and pumping over for approximately 20 days. Aged in 500-liter French oak barrels, some new and some used, for approximately 18 months. Releases aromas of cherries in alcohol, dried lavender, rosemary blossom, mint chocolate, licorice, and black pepper, with balsamic hints of eucalyptus. Concentrated garnet color. Generous on the palate, with integrated tannins. Finishes with a remarkable savory finish.
