Monteraponi is one of our very favorite estates in Tuscany. Based in Radda, a rugged land with high-altitude vines surrounded by cooling breezes from nearby forest, the Baron' Ugo is a 40 year old vineyard of marl and limestone soils. The wines ferment in cement tanks, followed by a maceration of around 45 days. The wine ages in large oak for 3 years, and is bottled unfiltered. This bottling was previously called the Chianti Classico Riserva, but in 2012 Michele chose to leave the consortium after they judged the wine too light in color and alcohol (12.5%) to be called a Riserva.
“The 2018 Baron'Ugo is super impressive. Rich and yet nuanced, Baron'Ugo captures a striking expression of the estate. Dollops of Canaiolo and Colorino add nuance to the Sangiovese. Those complementary varieties work so well in making Baron'Ugo the most distinctive and evocative wine in this range from Monteraponi. - 94 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 7/22 (Drink 2024-2038)”
