classical quirky vino
Old vine Trebbiano is grown amid chestnut, oak, and olives trees in a natural amphiitheater with southerly exposure. Hand-harvested, and hand sorted, this delicately crafted Trebbiano is rich and powerful.
Elegantly structured with concentrated fruit, dry and full-bodied, the herbaceous, spicy, and savory aromas combine with a linear minerality. It is aged in large Burgundian and Austrian oak barrels. Made in a more natural style, you may want to decant to remove sediment. A wine for the table, pair with rich pork dishes and strong cheese.

The rosé is obtained from a bleeding of our Sangiovese from the younger vines. Fermentation takes place in old barriques without temperature control and without the use of selected yeasts. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out to preserve and enhance the aromas, acidity and freshness of the wine. In this period three weekly bâtonages are carried out, to give depth and complexity to the wine. The wine is then moved in cement for a short period, after which, without filtration, it is bottled by gravity, possibly with the waning moon.

A seriously elegant chianti. Made in the classic style, with firm yet silky tannins providing the frame for sangiovese's cool, racy red-berried and rose hip fruit profile. Subtle hints of pepper, cedar and mushroom add complexity. Delicious and approachable, vintage after vintage.

The oldest vineyard on the estate, Il Campitello's vines are at least 44 years old and are separated from the rest of the estate by forest.
Dark, powerful and brooding in style, showing black cherry, plum, spice, liquorice and leather, Il Campitello retains fantastic freshness and verve from the high elevation. A gorgeous wine that will age well for years to come.

The Monteraponi estate, spanning 200 hectares, of which 12 are under vine, boasts some of the highest vineyards in the Chianti Classico area. Located in the Radda subzone, vines are planted up to 570 metres above sea level on albarese and galestro limestone soils. All work is done in the traditional way, with hand harvesting, spontaneous fermentations in concrete and ageing in large used French and Slavonian oak casks. The estate itself is a medieval hilltop village dating from the 10th century. It seems fitting that the wines are made in the tradtional Chianti style: racy, fresh and supremely elegant.
