Description
Monteraponi is one of the reference wineries in Chianti Classico. A small medieval village located in Radda in Chianti, it perfectly preserves the old walls that belonged to Count Ugo Marchese, governor of Tuscany at the end of the 10th century. Since the 1970s the winery has been in the hands of Michele Braganti, where he manages 200 hectares divided between woods olive groves for the bulk, and 12 hectares in vineyards. In the last decade the winery has managed to convert totally to organic farming. The vineyards are located in an amphitheater completely facing south, sheltered by woods from cold winds, where they enjoy a dry and mild climate. The grapes are carefully selected, and even in the winery there are concrete tanks for spontaneous fermentation without temperature control, thanks to the constant temperature of the thick old walls.
Monteraponi wines are known for their cleanliness, elegance and refinement. Complex wines that manage to give excellent results over time. Timeless mythical wines.
