Migliarina Montozzi Chianti Superiore Rosso 2022
Location: Italy, Tuscany
Winemaker: Antonio & Carlo Bartolini Baldelli
Grapes: Sangiovese
Soil: Sand, lime, clay
Winemaking: Fermentation in cement vats for 12 days followed by at least one year of élevage also in cement.
From us at M&L: Supple with bouquets of red silken fruits and very fine, elegant tannins. Amazingly valued Chianti perfect for hump-day blues and date-night swoons.
From the Importer PortoVino: A 500 hectare hunting reserve, 28 hectares of vineyards, a 1600’s Villa, native yeasts ferments in cement: these are the ingredients for a traditional, crunchy red-fruit Chianti.
Add in a place you can stay while on your next Tuscan vacation that’s neither stuffy or nor touristy, and there you have Migliarina Montozzi in a nutshell. Created in the 1600’s, Villa Migliarina is around 45 minutes south of Florence, between the towns of Arezzo and Siena, on the western edge of the Colli Arentini hills. Looking at the predominance of the sand and silt in this soil analysis, you’ll understand how these wines highlight a terse and mineral side of Sangiovese, with fine tannins and a vinous drinkability.
Cousins Antonio and Carlo Bartolini Baldelli maintain the both the villa and estate to keep it true to tradition. It’s no easy feat. Many producers go the route of renting out for photo shoots and wedding, instead of concentrating on excellence in the vineyards and cellar. We are lucky to have such down down to earth people, making such honest wines.
