Territory and wine style

Produced by Castello di Ama, an important reference in the Tuscan wine scene, this wine is born within the Chianti Classico DOCG denomination, a historic area always associated with structured wines, tasting tension, and elegance. Montebuoni presents itself as a Chianti Classico Riserva with a modern profile but faithful to tradition, with a clear expression of Sangiovese and a stylistic imprint focused on finesse, balance, and definition. The vinification with indigenous yeasts and aging in second-pass French oak barriques contribute to a composed profile, without excesses, where the wood accompanies without overshadowing the fruit.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows a bright ruby red color with purplish reflections. The bouquet opens with notes of blackberry, raspberry, and currant, followed by floral nuances of violet and dog rose, with more mature accents of sweet tobacco and leather. On the palate, it is full and enveloping, yet remains measured and smooth, supported by a fine and polished tannic structure. The freshness is well integrated and gives lift to the sip, while the finish unfolds with good persistence and an elegant closure, consistent with the house style and the nature of Sangiovese in Chianti Classico.

Recommended pairings

This wine pairs naturally with dishes from Tuscan and flavorful Italian cuisine. It is ideal with pappardelle with wild boar ragù, ribollita, grilled red meats, veal or lamb roasts, and preparations with porcini mushrooms.
