The wine

Montesodi Frescobaldi: The Soul of Rufina's Sangiovese

Let me guide you to a Tuscan gem, a wine that embodies elegance and depth. The Chianti Rufina Riserva DOCG "Montesodi" from Frescobaldi is not just a wine, it's a story, a terroir that expresses itself with rare intensity.

The High-Altitude Terroir of Rufina

This wine is the fruit of the centuries-old passion of the Frescobaldi family, whose winemaking history dates back more than 700 years. It comes specifically from the Chianti Rufina appellation, an area particularly renowned for growing Sangiovese, the sole grape variety of this wine. The vines that give rise to "Montesodi" are located on the heights of the estate, at about 400 meters of altitude, benefiting from an ideal microclimate with significant temperature differences between day and night, favoring a slow and complex ripening of the grapes.

To the eye, this Chianti Rufina Riserva reveals itself in an intense ruby red robe, adorned with garnet highlights as the years go by. On the nose, you will discover a complex and enveloping bouquet, where notes of ripe red fruits mingle with delicate spicy touches, vanilla and a subtle scent of tobacco, a legacy of its aging in barrique. On the palate, the "Montesodi" reveals a robust yet harmonious structure, well-integrated tannins and remarkable persistence, concluding with elegant mineral and spicy notes.

A Refined Table

I recommend savoring this wine with dishes featuring intense flavors. It will pair wonderfully with grilled red meats, game and aged cheeses. It is a wine that calls for contemplation, to be shared during a meal with friends or to mark a special occasion, offering a rich and memorable sensory experience.
