Castello di Monsanto Chianti Classico 2023

Castello di Monsanto Chianti Classico 2023 is a refined expression of Tuscany’s most celebrated red wine tradition, built around a classic blend of Sangiovese with touches of Canaiolo Nero and Colorino. Sourced from vineyards best suited to aging in large 50 hl casks, it reflects the estate’s focus on structure, purity, and regional character while staying true to the timeless style of Chianti Classico.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, this wine is likely to show a bright ruby hue, typical of youthful Chianti Classico. The nose should open with red cherry, wild berries, violet, dried herbs, and a subtle earthy-spicy undertone, supported by gentle oak nuances from its time in Slavonian oak. On the palate, expect a lively, medium-bodied wine with fresh acidity, fine tannins, and a polished, savory finish. The Sangiovese brings tension and red-fruited brightness, while Canaiolo and Colorino add softness, color, and depth. This is a wine that can be enjoyed for its freshness now, but it should also reward several years of cellaring as the structure becomes more integrated and complex.

Viininvalmistus
The grapes for this Chianti Classico come from selected vineyards chosen for their suitability to aging in large 50 hl barrels, where the wine can develop slowly without being dominated by oak. The blend is composed of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo and Colorino, with vinification carried out in stainless steel over approximately 18 days to preserve purity of fruit and freshness. After fermentation, the wine matures for 12 months in 50 hl Slavonian oak casks, followed by a further three months of bottle refinement before release.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This is a versatile food wine that pairs beautifully with Tuscan cuisine, especially grilled meats, roast chicken, mushroom dishes, pasta with tomato-based sauces, and aged pecorino. Serve it at around 16–18°C to bring out its aromatic lift and balance. Decanting is not essential, but a brief aeration can help soften the tannins and open the wine’s bouquet if enjoyed young.
