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

The personification of good old school Chianti. Went great with a pizza. Must drink with food. Tastes better after sitting out over night. Yum.
