Vinified in concrete vats and aged in large oak barrels, its sensory profile combines a solid structure with a distinct elegance. To the eye, it presents a transparent and crystalline ruby red, while on the nose, \u003cstrong\u003ehints of violet\u003c\/strong\u003e emerge, alongside fresh notes of raspberry and nuances of green bell pepper. On the palate, it is distinguished by a \u003cstrong\u003estrong minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e, enveloped by silky tannins that lead the sip towards a long, clean, and persistent finish, ensuring a dynamic and always pleasant drinking experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Chianti Classico comes from Tuscany, from vineyards located between 450 and 570 metres in altitude. Cultivation strictly follows the principles of certified \u003cstrong\u003eorganic farming\u003c\/strong\u003e. The soils, predominantly calcareous and stony, are characterised by the significant presence of \u003cstrong\u003egalestro\u003c\/strong\u003e, a schistous component fundamental for giving the sip a vibrant freshness and a distinct savoury character. The vines, approximately fifteen years old, benefit from this particular \u003cstrong\u003ealtitude range\u003c\/strong\u003e, offering an authentic and defined territorial expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with a \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e in glass-lined concrete vats, without temperature control or the addition of yeasts. Maceration on the skins lasts for about twenty-five days, punctuated by manual punching down and pumping over. Natural malolactic fermentation follows. Ageing takes place in \u003cstrong\u003elarge oval barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e of French or Slavonian oak for at least sixteen months, followed by a resting period in concrete to encourage natural decantation. Without undergoing filtration or clarification, the \u003cstrong\u003egravity bottling\u003c\/strong\u003e carried out during the waning moon concludes a production cycle that is extremely respectful of the raw material.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Monteraponi Chianti Classico D.O.C.G. 2024 embodies the essence of Tuscany thanks to rigorous \u003cstrong\u003ecertified organic viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e.
