Montevertine 2022

Montevertine 2022 is the purest essence of Sangiovese from Radda in Chianti. In a vintage as hot as 2022, Montevertine succeeds in the feat of maintaining its legendary verticality and finesse.

Here is the summary profile:

Organoleptic Profile

• Color: Light, transparent ruby red, typical of unforced high-altitude Sangiovese.

• Nose: Extremely refined. Marasca, raspberry and violet stand out, accompanied by iron notes, blond tobacco and a hint of blood orange.

• Taste: The palate is taut and vibrant. It has an unsettling freshness for the vintage, with nervous but fine-grained tannins. It is a wine that focuses on grace and depth rather than extractive power.

Technical Characteristics

• Grape varieties: 90% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo, 5% Colorino.

• Vinification: Fermentation in concrete tanks without temperature control, with indigenous yeasts.

• Aging: Matures for 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels, avoiding the use of small barrels so as not to cover the aromatic profile of the terroir.

• Style: Although it is not a “Chianti Classico” by production choice (it is an IGT), it represents its highest artisanal and traditional expression.

In summary

Monteverine 2022 is a wine for purists. If the Solengo is opulence and modernity, the Montevertine is austere elegance and territoriality. It is an “intellectual” red, capable of aging beautifully while starting from a base of extreme cleanliness and smoothness.

Ideal pairing: Florentine steak, grilled red meats, pasta dishes with Tuscan meat sauce or aged pecorino cheese.
