As always, this is slightly reductive at first, but don?t let that put you off, as it simply needs some air. Wild strawberries, rose petals, cedar and spices. Medium-bodied and very fine with polished tannins and a tangy finish. Sleek and slender. Drink now.

Born in the vineyard Il Poggio (5.5 Ha, 310 metres a.s.l.) from which in 1962, it took its name: it is the first Chianti Classico Cru. Made of 90% Sangiovese and from 7% Canaiolo and 3% Colorino, it ages for 20 months in French oak barrels. Today it represents the most prestigious product of the company, appreciated all over the world. It is produced only in the best vintages. The company has chosen to keep a considerable quantity of bottles of this wine in the cellar being the permanent archives, able to tell the history of Castello di Monsanto.
