Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG Gallo Nero
We produced this wine from a selection of the best Sangiovese grapes that it comes predominantly from the oldest vineyards. The elevated locations of the vineyards(around 450 m up to 600 m above the level of the sea) and the important excursion in terms of temperature between night and day gives to this wine particular bouquet.
It is important to mention that Sangiovese Grapes are collected from the top of each vines lines, where the grapes are the most suffering ones. We usually take the grapes for the Chianti Classico in the middle part of the hill and for our Rosè di Montemaggio we usually take the grapes at the very bottom.
We try always to wait for the last possible moment in October for the grapes to reach optimum level of maturity in order to obtain the perfect Chianti Classico Riserva di Montemaggio in the future.
Something More
This Sangiovese grapes are harvested in the second half of October and the Merlot at the end of September. We follow always a careful selection of the best grapes (that are left on the plant for longer in order to achieve the perfect maturation) fermentation lasts for quite a long time and takes place at controlled temperature (which is less than 26°C) in conical wooden trunk vats. Malolactic fermentation usually takes place in stainless steel and wooden vats. After that for few months, maturation takes place in large barrels and in tonneaux (5 Hl). Current vintage is 2013, which is perfect to be enjoyed right now.

This wine was recommended to me by a good friend and sommelier. I was disappointed. It arrived beautiful presented in a black box and I knew I was going to try it that evening. It looked too good to resist. After a few hours of chilling in the fridge, I opened the bottle with the glass cork (a first for me) and poured the first glass. The wine looked lovely and light in the glass and I could already tell it was going to be crisp. But nothing prepared me for the incredible flavours, the delicious freshness of honey and butter. Some white wines can be overly tangy but not this one. It was so big in flavour yet delicate at the same time. You can't go wrong with this bottle and it's a bargain at £20. The only disappointment is when you've finished drinking and you doubt have another bottle of this fantastic wine in your house!

I have rarely enjoyed Chardonnay (probably because it was cheap!). Normally they taste like they have added oak as a flavour using a syringe and some oak juice (or something). I don't normally drink whites, but this was very pleasant indeed - the ladies also commented on how nice it was. Crisp but not too acidic. Smooth but not artificially so. A very nice wine to accompany our fish dish today - and actually very nice to drink on its own. It wasn't sunny (this is the UK) but it would have been even nicer had it been so! Thanks.

I wouldn't normally associate Chardonnay with Italy but this is a really stand out wine. Pale golden in the glass with a nose of tropical fruits. It's got a really good mouthfeel and you get honey and cream as it goes down. Let it breathe a little and there's hints of banana too. This really is top wine and it measures up very well against it's more expensive rivals Meursault or Puligny-Montrachet. Delivery was swift and the wine was very well packaged too. I'm definitely going to buy this again!!!!!!

Bought as a birthday gift in September 2020. My best friend loved it. The glass stopper was a great talking point, so I bought a second bottle as a Christmas gift for someone. Very happy with this and highly recommend.
