Note di degustazione
90% Sangiovese, 10% Colorino and Canaiolo. Aged in old barriques and tonneaux. Vigorous mealy cherry with a hint of camphor. Vibrant acidity and chewy tannins, really lifted cherry. Almost tart and hugely refreshing for the vintage. It will age, thanks to the acidity. (WS)

The 2011 Chianti Classico Riserva delivers toasted notes of spice and smoke that need more time to integrate. There’s a point of ripe fruit (strawberry, mostly) that peeks above those lavish oak tones. The 2010 version of this wine shows better balance, while 2011 is characterized by the hotter growing season.
Monsanto's 2011 Chianti Classico Riserva fleshes out beautifully in the glass. The flavors are bright, lifted and beautifully focused throughout. Sweet red berries, crushed flowers, mint and tobacco are some of the notes that inform the silky finish. The 2011 shows the texture and voluptuousness of the year, but the classic Monsanto style is still quite evident. This is a beautiful example of the vintage, and a wine that will deliver considerable pleasure for the next decade or more.

Year in and year out, they offer an impeccably clean perspective that is always characterized by varietal and vintage. This set of new releases follows faithfully in the tradition set forth by this winery. eRobertParker.com.October, 2014
