    When a winery uses the same label for its Riserva for over sixty years, it is not a lack of imagination – it is an attitude. Castello di Monsanto's Riserva is one of the oldest labels in continuous production in Italy. The label was already there before Chianti Classico was an appellation. It has survived decades and fashions – and it explains what Monsanto stands for: Sangiovese as a conviction. The winery is located in San Donato in Poggio, the westernmost sub-region of Chianti Classico, at an altitude of 280 to 320 metres. Galestro – schistose rock, barren and mineral-rich – is the soil on which the Sangiovese vines from four vineyards take root.

    2022 was a warm, generous vintage in Chianti Classico – mediterranean fruit, balanced ripeness, clear character. The Riserva shows it: Intense ruby red with garnet rim. Sour cherry, blackberry, violet, cedar wood, a hint of tobacco and spices on the nose. Full-bodied on the palate, with elegantly integrated tannins, fresh acidity and a long, mineral final. The promise that Monsanto has been making since 1962 – has also been kept in this vintage. SUPERIORE.DE
