Fattoria Montepescini Di Governi Massimiliano Chianti Colli Senesi Riserva – 2018

Organic
Avg. Vine Age: 25 yrs
Sangiovese

The small family concern Fattoria Montepescini di Governi Massimiliano sits on the Montalcino side of Tuscany’s Colli Senesi (hills of Siena) sub-zone. The zone is in two, non-contiguous, parts, one surrounding the village of Montalcino (the home of Brunello, arguably Italy’s mostly highly prized wine), the other outside of Montepulciano (home of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, no lesser a contender).

This Riserva 2018 is very much a Chianti, yet the ripe fruit and tobacco notes do have a certain Brunello-like depth to them. Expect the similarities to only enhance over the next 8 years. 89 points (James Suckling). Limited production. Drink now to 2031.
