Fattorio Montecchio offers up several 'Chianti' wines, their best fruit reserved for their 'Primum' (premium) versions. Distinctive in their old traditional short and fat bottles, and the hillside villa prominent on the label.

Well exceeding all the minimum requirements for 'Chianti Classico', this comes from a single site 300-350m in elevation, on stony clay soils.  95% Sangiovese, blended with 5% Alicante Bouchet, fermented in large oak vats virtually the same as it has been done here for 400 years.  The wine is aged 14 months in 25hl casks, and further bottle age before release.

Complex and elegant nose, with a beautiful violet and citrus lift, fresh initially, then soft and juicy through the mid-palate, the cherry and black fruits combining with coffee and mocha, tobacco and olive notes, finishing with silky tannins.  Wonderful.

Free shipping for orders over $250 or 24 bottles.
