Ruby red tending towards garnet. Rich, intense and complex on the nose with notes of black cherry and spice. Full bodied with rich red berry fruit flavors complimenting a backbone of tannin.

An exceptional compliment to red meats, roasts and game.

Primarily Sangiovese blended with small portions of Canaiolo and Colorino. Vinified in temperature controlled truncated conical steel vats with emptying system (Délestage) and pumping over for about 18/20 days. One part aged in 3800 litre oak casks and the other in second passage tonneaux for around 18 months.

An accessible example of the unique style and character of Castello di Monsanto wines. This multi-faceted wine can be enjoyed straight away or left to develop and evolve as the years roll by. It is our most widely produced wine by far, underlining our winery’s belief in Sangiovese, which acquires a strength and energy from our soil that must be patiently awaited. One of the oldest wines in Italy, it appeared on the market in the 1960s and has become an ambassador for the entire denomination around the world.

A restrained wine with bright and polished aromas of raspberries, red cherries, subtle mint, violets and licorice. Medium-bodied, juicy and smooth, with velvety tannins and refreshing acidity. Long finish. Drink or hold.
