Swooning for Sangiovese this is much more open than the 14-16 at this age, perfect, classic Sangiovese. This bottle really brought the Montevertine comparison into focus. Gentle, perfumed, elegant red fruit, florals and spice, persistent and complex. — 2 years ago

2020/4/15-16 with Venetian red tonguebsole roasted with potatoes and onions and chicory salad, and black sea bream linguine and fava, pancetta and onion ragu. Monteraponi is always so good - up there with Montevertine among my favorite Chianti estates. The 2017 edition is a light to medium weight with a nice transparent texture, and that dried orange peel and cherry thing. — 5 years ago

This is fine. The nose is very appealing but on the palate this falls a bit short. I don’t know but Sangiovese has not been a friend of mine. Maybe I need to stop using Montevertine as a benchmark. — 2 years ago

Excellent, if you love sangiovese, in the style of Boncie, Montevertine, or Stella this is your huckleberry! — a year ago

I brought this bottle to the Tasting Group and served double-blind. Popped and poured. Deep, translucent ruby with a watery rim. On the nose: red cherries, dried herbs, Earl Grey, dusty earth and a hint of baking spice. On the palate: again with the red cherries, black tea, and dried herbs. Medium tannins and good acid. Impeccable balance. Finish is long and a touch savory. One taster remarked that it reminded him of Montevertine (whoa, he was close!). Pound for pound, one of the best Rosso’s coming from Montalcino that can be had at any price and this can be had under $30 all day. The 2016 is a fire cracker in its youth and delivering the goods right now. A contrast to the 2015 which, to my palate, was a touch flabby. Absolutely charming. — 4 years ago
