Tasting Notes & Reviews:
"Made entirely with organically farmed Sangiovese, this opens with aromas of red-skinned berry, violet and underbrush. The elegant, bright palate delivers juicy red cherry, cinnamon, star anise and aromatic herb alongside polished tannins and fresh acidity. Drink through 2029." 92/100, Wine Enthusiast, Kerin O’Keefe
The Wine & The Estate
The Chianti Classico Riserva di Montemaggio is a red Tuscan wine with an intense ruby colour and a spicy perfume with a hint of wood. It has a bouquet of rich floral notes, enriched with hints of fruits, pleasantly tannic and well balanced taste with persisting presence.
It is produced from a selection of the best Sangiovese grapes that comes especially from the oldest vineyards. The elevated locations of the vineyards (from 450 to 600 metres above sea level) and the large variation in temperature between night and day gives the wine their particular bouquet.
It is worth mentioning that Sangiovese Grapes are collected from the top of each vines lines, where the grapes are the most suffering ones. The grapes for the Chianti Classico are usually take in the middle and for Rose di Montemaggio at the very bottom. We usually wait for the last possible moment in October for the grapes to reach optimum level of maturity in order to obtain perfect Chianti Classico Riserva in the future.
Other details
The Sangiovese grapes are harvested in the second half of October and the Merlot at the end of September. Following a careful selection of the best grapes (that are left on the plant for longer) fermentation lasts for long time and takes place at controlled temperature (less than 26°C) in conical wood trunk vats. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stain- less steel and wooden vats. Thereafter for few months, maturation takes place in large barrels and in tonneaux (5 Hl). Current vintage being sold at the moment is 2014, which is perfect to be enjoyed right now.
