The 2022 Chianti Classico is a powerful, rich wine that offers a striking reflection of the intensity of the year, slightly tempered by the elevation of Radda. Crushed flowers, red berry fruit, cinnamon and orange peel are all nicely lifted. There's gorgeous brilliance and energy here. The 2022 spent 16 months in cask. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2024)

I reckon Monteraponi at the moment makes better wines than any of its glorious neighbors
This Chianti has flesh, character, vibrancy, complexity and magnificent freshness
It takes time to open up
A little funky at first
But it's so persistent
Have it with some black truffle involved in the cooking

Excellent Chianti. Floral and perfumed. Bing cherry and raspberry. Earthy and very well balanced

1 person found it helpfulSep 12th, 2023Just 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)

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.
