Normally, the Sangiovese grapes from the 14-hectare single vineyard are mainly harvested in Ama and San Lorenzo. Since the 2018 harvest, Lorenza and Marco have decided to vinify a small quantity separately - and here comes the second vintage of the rare Riserva.
Deep, dark ruby red with violet reflections. Extroverted bouquet of brunberry, raspberry and redcurrant, with notes of crushed gravel, tobacco and traces of young leather. Very powerful and beautifully textured on the palate, the various layers of primary fruit only gradually unfold, the wood pleasantly receding into the background. Finely granulated tannins and a well-integrated acidity flank this very harmonious red on an elegant, long final. There is a lot to like here, for us it is once again a typical Ama wine: racy, powerful and elegant! SUPERIORE.DE
"Ripe, rich cherry fruit and hints of tobacco, elegant structure with fine tannins, medium-bodied, perfectly balanced. Accessible and charming in the best sense, cherry fruit flavours on the finish with a hint of dark chocolate. Benefits from further ageing in the bottle." Weinwisser
"Bright, medium ruby red with a brightening rim. Medium intensity on the nose, with notes of wild berries, undergrowth and a touch of white chocolate. Fresh on the palate, with clear fruit and firm tannins through to the juicy finish." Falstaff
"Brilliant, youthful ruby red colour. Concentrated nose with mineral and salty notes. Elegant, fresh raspberry, juicy and light in flavour. A beautiful wine and already easy to drink." Jancis Robinson
"High-toned and racy, with flavours of blackberries, plums, earth and hints of chocolate and spice. Although this red wine is light, it shows a fine intensity and a chalky sensation on the long finish." Wine Spectator
"Pretty violet, lavender and orange flavours repeat on the palate, where crisp acidity meets cherry skin and raspberry. A hint of smoky wood wafts unobtrusively, and soft, plush tannins cleanse the mouth. It finishes with a burst of spiced dark plums." Decanter
"The Chianti Classico Riserva Montebuoni 2020 offers a convincing blend of dark ama fruit mixed with a good dose of energy. Dark fruit, leather, spice, graphite and dried herbs are all well brought out. This is a particularly savoury, sometimes dark Riserva with a good amount of aromatic intensity and some tannin that needs time to resolve." Vinous
"Very beautiful flavours of flowers and fragrances as well as the classic cherry character of Sangiovese. Medium-bodied, with ultra-fine tannins and a finesse and concentration. Marvellous." James Suckling
