Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Bragantino 2020 by Monteraponi

Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Bragantino 2020 by Monteraponi is a wine of strong personality, born from pure Sangiovese grapes sourced from a single vineyard in Radda in Chianti, in a prestigious and vocated area.

Territory and wine style

The Chianti Classico Gran Selezione here expresses a rigorous and territorial interpretation, linked to one of the most interesting crus in the Radda in Chianti area. The altitude helps define a tense, elegant style oriented towards freshness, with a profile that enhances aromatic precision and tasting finesse. Bragantino fits into this vision with a selective and identity-driven imprint, designed to convey the character of the vineyard and the Sangiovese in one of its noblest forms.

Tasting notes

In the glass, one can expect a red with a refined profile, featuring an intense and bright ruby color typical of the grape variety. On the nose, it offers an elegant expression, played on red fruit, floral nuances, and notes that evoke the mineral texture and complexity of the territory. On the palate, the wine tends to be vertical, savory, and persistent, with good structure, well-present freshness, and fine tannins that support the sip without weighing it down. The balance between energy and measure is one of its strengths, along with a long and harmonious finish.

Recommended pairings

Bragantino pairs effectively with structured dishes from Tuscan and Italian cuisine. It is ideal with grilled red meats, roasts, light game, braised dishes, and savory baked preparations. It also pairs well with rich first courses, such as pappardelle with wild boar ragù or ravioli with meat sauces, as well as with aged cheeses and characterful pecorino. Its freshness and fine tannin make it suitable for more important and convivial tables.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate Bragantino, a serving temperature between 16 and 18°C is recommended. In the presence of a young vintage or at the moment of opening, a bit of oxygenation in the glass or a brief decanting may be useful to encourage the evolution of the bouquet and make the sip more relaxed and precise.
