Castello di Monsanto is a renowned winery located in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, known for producing exceptional Chianti Classico wines. The Chianti Classico Riserva is crafted primarily from Sangiovese grapes, with small additions of Canaiolo and Colorino, sourced from the estate's vineyards in the Chianti Classico region. The wine undergoes traditional fermentation followed by aging in oak barrels, which imparts a complex structure and depth. It exhibits a vibrant flavor profile with notes of ripe cherries, plums, and a hint of spice, balanced by firm tannins and a refreshing acidity. This wine pairs beautifully with classic Italian dishes such as pasta with tomato-based sauces, grilled meats, and aged cheeses.
