Monteraponi is a few miles outside of the town of Radda in Chianti. It is one of the highest vineyards in all of Chianti Classico. The four vineyards are situated 1,800 ft./550m above sea level overlooking the Val d’Arbia. The vineyards range in age from 35 to 45 years with some newer planting in the 7 to 10 range and are at such a steep pitch nearly all of the work has to be done by hand. A tractor would tumble rump over teakettle on such a sharp grade.
The colour can change from opaque to a dark amber. The typical scents of our Vin Santo often have notes of dried apricot, walnut shell, hazelnut and honey. Despite being a sweet wine, maintains a strong acidity, thanks to the territory rich in minerals and with a high altitude. - Winemaker notes
