The Chianti Classico di Montemaggio is produced from predominantly Sangiovese grapes and a small portion of Merlot (3-7%).

The vineyards are situated at altitudes varying from 450 to 600  metres above sea level. The Sangiovese grapes are harvested in the second half of October while the Merlot is picked at the end of September. The two types of grapes undergo fermentation separately in stainless steel  vessels and concrete tanks  for 18-25  days at a temperature not higher than 28°-30° C. The Sangiovese is put into Slovenian and French oak casks of 32 hl capacity, while the Merlot is put in barrels of second hand, where the malolactic fermentation takes place and where the young wine stays for the next 18-20 months.

The  Chianti Classico is characterised by a brilliant ruby colour, intense but elegant bouquet, rich with floral aromas, hints of fruits and spices.

It has a full body with intense flavour and lasting presence on the palate. A very versatile wine, perfect with meats and cheese..

Serve at 18°- 20
