2015 Monteraponi Baron'Ugo Toscana Rosso (750ml)

Monteraponi is an ancient medieval village of Radda. Their vineyards are at an altitude of 1,300-1,600+ feet above sea level. The entire property extends over an area of two hundred hectares set in a natural amphitheater with only twelve planted to vines. They plant only indigenous varieties. The wines are made in a very natural way, aged in large oak, and are neither fined nor filtered. These are thoughtfully made, distinctive wines and some of the best examples of Chianti Classico.
