      Reviews:

      • Wine Advocate: The Riservas from across the appellation are showing very well in 2019. This wine is no exception. The 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva (which is a blend of 90% Sangiovese with Canaiolo and Colorino aged in different-sized oak barrels for up to 18 months) offers pretty richness and concentration. The wine's ample volume is fleshed out with dark fruit, spice and blue flower. It should be fun to try this wine in five years' time, when it loses its baby fat.
      • James Suckling: Crushed stones with black cherries and fresh flowers. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a flavorful finish. Still so young and fruity with wonderful energy. Give it another two or three years, if you can bear to wait.

        Producer Information

        Castello di Monsanto is a wine producer based in the Chianti Classico DOCG zone. In 1962, it produced its inaugural Chianti Classico, the Riserva Il Poggio, a Sangiovese-based blend with small amounts of Canaiolo and Colorino. In 1960, Aldo Bianchi purchased the 6 hectare (14 acre) Il Poggio vineyard. The family began to make a single-vineyard wine inspired by the cru wines of Burgundy, eventually excluding Trebbiano and Malvasia from the wine's blend. In the 1970s, Monsanto released a varietal Sangiovese named for Fabrizio Bianchi, and planted Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, Monsanto estate comprises 72 hectares (178 acres) of vineyards, a majority of which are planted to Sangiovese. The northern part of the vineyard has marl soils, while in the south there is a higher proportion of tuff rock. The climate in the vineyard mild with warm days and cool nights that provide ideal conditions for ripening and the development of the grape's unique flavor profiles. In the winery, the grapes are fermented in truncated cones to maximise extraction during the maceration process. After fermentation, the wines can spend up to 20 months in either French or Slavonian oak barrels, depending on the cuvée. Castello di Monsanto has a tradition of storing 2500-3000 bottles of each vintage of Il Poggio, in order to preserve a historical archive for future generations.
