Notes | |||
"Montesecondo comprises two separate properties: both are biodynamically farmed and both lie in the San Casciano zone of Chianti Classico but are quite different from each other. The Chianti is a blend of both sites, with proportions varying by vintage. The grapes are hand-harvested and mainly destemmed but with up to 30% whole clusters in the mix." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2019 Chianti Classico is a gorgeous wine that captures the essence of the house style. Crushed flowers, sage, mint and sweet red cherry all grace this perfumed, wonderfully expressive Chianti Classico. The style is a bit idiosyncratic, and yet it works so well. The 2019 was aged in a combination of cask and cement for a year." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous |
