Castello di Monsanto Description
90% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo and Colorino
Hand-picked grapes are selected at the optimum moment of the vintage. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures
Rich, intense and complex with notes of black cherry and spice. Full bodied with rich red berry fruit flavors complimenting a backbone of tannin. Open in advance and allowed to breathe. Decanting is preferable. An exceptional compliment to red meats, roasts and game.
Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
Bing cherry and blood orange, potting soil, graphite and then wild herbs—especially sage—appear on the nose, before a whisper of vanilla and cedar. Juicy and fresh on the palate, with vanilla, chocolate and cherry, and then herbs emerging again on the back. A rare example of a wine with great sophistication that's also an undeniable crowd-pleaser.
Vinous Media: 93 Points
