This is a Chianti Classico with the weight of a Riserva, and the reason is unusual: Monterotondo's signature is a very long maceration on the skins. The estate takes its name from a hill high in the southeast corner of the appellation, in the commune of Gaiole. The Vaggiolata vines face south at 550 to 575 metres, planted in galestro and sandstone, one of the classic Chianti soils. For Saverio Basagni's father and grandfather, the farm (built around a farmhouse that dates to 1056) was a hobby. Saverio and his wife Fabiana took it over in 1994, replanted the vineyards and switched to organic farming in 2003. The wine ferments on native yeasts. If you like Chianti with real depth and patience behind it, this is a serious bottle without the Riserva label.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Bistecca alla fiorentina, pappardelle with wild boar ragù, rosemary-roasted lamb, grilled sausages with white beans, aged Pecorino Toscano.

Tasting Profile

Expect classic high-altitude Gaiole Sangiovese: sour cherry, red plum, dried herbs and a savoury, earthy edge. The estate's very long skin maceration typically gives Riserva-like depth and concentration, with firm, fine-grained tannins kept lively by the bright acidity of high vineyards. Dry and structured, it should finish long and savoury.
