Love the high tone, finesse from Radda and purity of fruit, but the finish is shorter than expected, and it is pricier than it should be.

2020/4/15-16 with Venetian red tonguebsole roasted with potatoes and onions and chicory salad, and black sea bream linguine and fava, pancetta and onion ragu. Monteraponi is always so good - up there with Montevertine among my favorite Chianti estates. The 2017 edition is a light to medium weight with a nice transparent texture, and that dried orange peel and cherry thing.

Bright and fruity with textbook new leather, red berries and some tobacco. Acidity is very high, tannins are moderate and fine for its age.
