Castello Monsanto Chianti Classico Riserva 2020
An accessible example of the unique style and character of Castello di Monsanto wines. This multi-faceted wine can be enjoyed straight away or left to develop and evolve as the years roll by. It is our most widely produced wine by far, underlining our company’s belief in Sangiovese, which acquires a strength and an energy from our soil that must be patiently awaited. One of the oldest wines in Italy, it appeared on the market in the 1960s and has become an ambassador for the entire denomination around the world.

Colour

Ruby red streaked with garnet.

Bouquet

A cascade of tones of bramble fruit and traces of sweet spices enveloping scents of cherry and violet.

Flavour

Mouth of golden proportion, with dissolved tannin and long finish on memories of spices.

Pairing

Meat
Game
Cheese
Matured cheese
Pork
