Montesecondo, the biodynamic estate of Silvio Messana, is known for its soulful, low-intervention approach to Sangiovese. This Sangiovese di Toscana comes from younger vines and is vinified in concrete, preserving the grape’s freshness and purity. The 2022 vintage, shaped by warm days and cool nights, highlights the wine’s bright fruit and elegant structure, making it a perfect introduction to Montesecondo’s terroir-driven style.

Juicy red cherry, pomegranate, and wild strawberry lead, with hints of dried herbs, orange peel, and a touch of earthiness. The palate is light on its feet yet structured, with fine tannins and lively acidity keeping it fresh and highly drinkable. Whether paired with classic Tuscan fare like pici al ragù, grilled meats, or simply enjoyed on its own, this is a Sangiovese that captures the beauty of simplicity and place.

Messana moved back from New York to take over his family farm, Montesecondo, in the village of Cerbaia in the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany. Pretty quickly thereafter he began to run afoul of the Chianti Classico powers that be. While Silvio's methods in the vineyard and cellar yield what many would and do consider pure, classically expressive wines, the way he gets there and occasionally the actual results (higher acidity, lighter color or darker color, etc.) led to enough issues over time that he bottles only one Classico and the rest of his wines as IGT Toscana. The property is split into two with the lower vineyard producing fleshier more fruit driven wines all grown organically. The second higher part of the property is biodynamically farmed and tends to produce more high toned mineral driven fruit.

What importer Bowler Wine has to say about this wine...

100% Sangiovese. From certified-biodynamic vines in San Casciano in Val di Pesa at the northern edge of the Chianti Classico zone. The fruit comes from two sites--one lower-lying, warmer, with heavier clay soils with alluvial stones, the other much higher, cooler, north-facing and limestone-forward and rich in limestone--harvested earlier than for either the Montesecondo Chianti Classico or "TÏN". The bunches are harvested by hand and mainly destemmed (though up to 30% may remain as whole clusters depending on the vintage), with the whole berries left uncrushed. The berries and clusters are layered in concrete tanks and fermented spontaneously with natural yeasts and no sulfur or temperature control. Maceration is a short 3-4 days with no extractive techniques, only a submerged cap or cappello sommerso. The wine is aged in concrete for a year and bottled with a small amount of sulfur and without filtration.
