It was 1961 when Aldo Bianchi purchased Castello di Monsanto in the Chianti Classico zone of Tuscany. His son Fabrizio, who today oversees the estate with his daughter Laura is deeply connected to this land and its wines. Monsanto holds a unique wine legacy, as it was in 1962 when Fabrizio decided to separately vinify the grapes from his Il Poggio vineyard, where Sangiovese still reigns today. A choice that was risky for the times perhaps, but it turned out to be a great success not only for Monsanto, but also for Sangiovese, which was appreciated again from that moment on. And thus the first Cru of Chianti Classico came to be, an eyewitness to how the past made room for the ideas of the future. This was only the starting point of a long and incredible journey in the constant search for quality.

Tasting Notes
Opulent notes of black currant, cassis, black cherry, black pepper and vanilla. The palate is full bodied with black fruit flavours and a silky supple mouthfeel that leads to a long finish. This is a a powerful, polished Cabernet Sauvignon.
