Like Monte B a lot for a broad shoulder style CC. Chianti in Panzano. Lots of sandstone here.

Incredibly elegant tannins, fresh and dried cherries, fresh herbs and lots of class.

Great bottle. Truly speaks of the soils and altitude in Panzano. Sa'etta is a single vineyard planted 40+ years ago. Sangiovese cento per cento.

Monte Bernardi is a young estate quickly making a name for itself and it's not hard to understand how. #tuscantable

One of the best Chianti Classicos I've tasted. Elegant, soft and intense.

Delectable Featured Wine

Founded by an American ex-pat and farmed biodynamically, Monte Bernardi is a young estate quickly making a name for itself. Sa'etta is its top bottling, made from the best grapes of the single vineyard and given additional aging (hence riserva). The luscious fruit of 2009's warm summer shines through in ripe dark berry notes, and its maturity has both resolved the tannins and revealed notes of leather, earth and tar.
