Antonio Galloni

95 points

"The 2019 Baron'Ugo is sourced from a vineyard established in 1974, among the first vines planted by Antonio Braganti when he purchased the property. It sits at 560 meters in elevation, which is a positive now but could not have been at the time. Baron'Ugo is distinguished by its red-toned fruit, along with hints of iron, leather, white pepper, mint and blood orange that gradually open in the glass, adding considerable nuance throughout. The 2019 spent three years in cask. This is Radda turbocharged to the maximum. But readers have to be patient, as the 2019 is pretty austere today." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"The organic Monteraponi 2019 Baron'Ugo (made with Sangiovese with tiny percentages of Canaiolo and Colorino from 49-year-old vines at a special site with limestone alberese soils perched at 560 meters above sea level) knocks it out of the park in this balanced vintage. The 2019 growing season is known for its concentration and power, and although this wine delivers on those fronts, it does so with a gentle touch. The wine remains slender and focused in presentation with elegant aromas of wild berry, rose, lilac and crushed stone that lift elegantly from the bouquet. Baron'Ugo stands apart in 2019." —Monica Larner

"This is Sangiovese unplugged. More sa- vory than fruity, with balsamic notes of eucalyptus, menthol and Mediterranean herbs, plus iron and to- bacco. There’s a core of sweet cherry buried within alongside a hint of resin. Balanced and long, with a firm, integrated structure. Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino."

"Fragrant and loaded with finesse and intensity, the classy 2019 Monteraponi Baron’Ugo offers enticing scents of violet, eucalyptus and woodland berry. A blend of 95% Sangiovese, 2.5% Colorino and 2.5% Canaiolo, the delicious, vibrant palate displays succulent red cherry, wild strawberry, blood orange and spice before a salty close. Reflecting the stellar vintage, Radda and the scrupulous, delicate hand of estate owner and winemaker Michele Braganti, it’s elegant and compelling and offers serious aging potential. Drink 2025–2044." —Kerin O'Keefe

More about Monteraponi

From single most exciting young estate to one of Chianti Classico's standout names. Monteraponi, a medieval village just outside Radda, is home to Michele Braganti's 12 hectares of vineyard on the southern slopes of the commune. He uses concrete for fermentation, big oak for aging, and biodynamic farming to pull bright red fruit and floral aromatics from sandy-calcareous soils. Proof that the Classico zone still has surprises.
