Chianti Classico is one of the best values in serious wine, and Monteraponi makes that case as clearly as any producer we know. Michele Braganti loves Burgundy and certain Piedmont wines, and it shows in how he works. The grapes go through a Burgundian destemmer built for delicate varieties like Pinot Noir and Sangiovese. They ferment on their own in concrete, with no added yeast and no temperature control, and age only in large oak. The estate sits in a medieval village just outside Radda. Its vines grow in a south-facing natural amphitheater sheltered from the cold tramontana wind, on stony alberese limestone and galestro schist. The Chianti Classico comes from the estate's youngest vineyards and is 95% Sangiovese with 5% Canaiolo, a grape Braganti calls Sangiovese's most beautiful blending partner. It goes into bottle with no fining or filtration. This is the way into a certified-organic estate whose house style is pure Radda: taut, mineral and elegant rather than big.

More about Monteraponi

Monteraponi is a medieval hamlet just outside Radda in Chianti, built around three towers dating to the 10th century. Michele Braganti's family has owned it since the early 1970s, and Michele revived the winery in the early 2000s, convinced Radda could produce world-class Sangiovese. Of the estate's roughly 200 hectares, 12 are vines and 8 olives, set in a south-facing natural amphitheater sheltered from the north wind, with the rest left to oak and chestnut woods. Proof the Classico zone still has surprises.

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, spaghetti al pomodoro, porcini risotto, roast chicken with rosemary, aged Pecorino Toscano, finocchiona and other Tuscan salumi.

Tasting Profile

Expect the high-elevation Radda style of Chianti Classico: red cherry, violet and dried herbs over stony, limestone-driven minerality. Typically medium-bodied and taut, with bright acidity and fine, firm tannins, since large oak shapes texture rather than adding oaky flavour. It finishes dry and savoury, closer in spirit to red Burgundy than to a big, plush Tuscan red.
