Montefili Chianti Classico (2021)

High above the heart of Chianti Classico, perched over 500 meters in the hills of Panzano, Montefili crafts high‑altitude, low‑intervention wines that channel Sangiovese in its purest, most expressive form. Founded in 1975 with what became Panzano’s first single‑vineyard “Cru,” the estate was revitalized in 2015, yet its historic vines still anchor the iconic Anfiteatro Toscana IGT.

Ruby‑red in the glass, this wine opens with an inviting bouquet of cherry, redcurrant, and a bright twist of orange peel. The palate is medium‑bodied and beautifully layered, offering ripe cherry and cranberry wrapped in subtle clove and warm spice. Fine‑grained tannins and lively acidity keep everything fresh, balanced, and food‑friendly.

A versatile, vibrant red that shines with grilled red meats, tomato‑based pastas, and aged cheeses.
