Sono Montenidoli Chianti Colli Senesi Il Garrulo 2019 750ml

Montenidoli is literally and figuratively a mountain above the appellation of San Gimignano. It is a large estate of roughly 200 hectares, though just 24 hectares under vine, on a mountainside overlooking the picturesque town of San Gimignano with Chianti Classico in the distance. Elisabetta Fagiuoli is pivotal figure when talking about the last 50 years of Tuscan winemaking. In fact, 2020 marked her 50th vintage produced!

Her Chianti Colli Senesi Il Garullo is a special Chianti, based on the historic Ricasoli Chianti recipe from the 1700’s. It is a co-ferment in cement of Sangiovese, Colorino and Canaiolo along with the white grapes Trebbiano Gentile and Malvasia Bianca. It then ages further time in glass-lined cement followed by time in the bottle. It is a bright, alluring red wine that displays high-toned fruit and a beautiful dance-on-the-palate texture.
