Some notes about the winning wines
Chianti Classico Montemaggio 2011
Chianti Classico is the wine that belongs to this area: the Chianti. It is a wine characterised by an elegant and delicate bouquet, very versatile, perfect for every occasion. The 2011 year was very hot in August, but as Montemaggio is on top of a high hill, the grapes did achieve the optimal ripeness, without becoming overly ripe as in other areas that are located at a lower altitude than Montemaggio.
