Castello Di Monsanto Chianti Classico 2021

This classic Tuscan red wine delivers striking aromas of ripe black cherries, wild berries, tobacco, and crushed stones. The palate is intensely structured with a beautiful core of red fruit balanced by crisp acidity and fine, firm tannins. The finish is remarkably pure, long, and mineral-driven.

Food Pairing: Complements roasted rosemary lamb chops, grilled prime ribeye steaks, rich wild boar ragu pasta, and medium-aged Pecorino cheeses.

93 Points - James Suckling 

Notes of spiced cherries and red plums with walnuts, spicy herbs, dark licorice and moist bark. Juicy and racy on the palate with a medium body and polished tannins. Fresh and crunchy. Sleek and textured with a flavorful, red-fruited finish. Very attractive. Drink or hold.

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast 

The nose opens with vanilla and toasted coconut, then expands into mixed berries and potting soil, before the palate soars in full of berries, not without balance from continued earthiness, graphite and bitter cocoa.

93 Points - Wine Spectator 

A supple, succulent red marked by intense aromas and flavors of blackberry, black cherry, violet, earth and graphite. Reveals tannins that leave a powdery feel on the finish, along with vibrant acidity. Overall, this is balanced and superlong. Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino. Drink now through 2033. 6,000 cases made, 300 cases imported.
