Monteraponi Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2021

Robert Ahlstrom

Nicely balanced Chianti, red currant, acidity

Sally Neal

Delightful Chianti. Bold and big, dark red color, juicy cherries slightly fruit forward. Really like it. Fortunately I bought 3 bottles. Will buy again. Thanks to my friends at crush in NYC for recommending it to me.

Just bottled, the 2021 Chianti Classico is a powerful, wild wine. Readers will have to give the 2021 quite a bit of time, as it is dense. Floral and savory overtones, with a kick of white pepper and orange peel, open with a bit of coaxing, but the 2021 is an infant. Bright saline notes are a reminder we are in Radda. The 2021 is a blend of mostly younger vines from various parcels across the property. It spent 15 months in cask. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, August 2023)

This needs a long sleep. So tannic and tart even a day later.

ラッダのキャンティクラシコらしいエレガントな酸に木苺のような赤い果実。スミレのような鮮やかな香りにちょいインクも感じる。 カシッと背筋が伸びるような酸とミネラル感で直線的というか垂直的な味わい。 ブルピノのようなローズヒップに苔のような雰囲気。 カルレオーネは全房発酵とロングマセレーションで、青さと揮発酸でエレガンスを体現している感じがするが、こちらは果実由来の酸とミネラルで体現している感じがする。

A great Italian wine. Bold but opens well. Tight on the nose and clean on the palette

Andrew Cullimore

Medium ruby . Cedar , dried herbs and spiced cherry , strawberry compote , on the nose. On the palate red fruit focused with the sour cherry and strawberry notes coming through along with the dried spices and rosemary , sage . Acidity is refreshing and tannin is quite rounded but noticeable . Good length , balanced alcohol and a cedar, saline tinged finish . Needs time really better in 5 years and will last well a further 5-8.

Excellent Chianti Classico at north Italia with Cory and Whit for Josey’s 50th.

Carter White

Good, but a little rough around the edges. I preferred prior vintages.

Give it 6hr decant.
