Whilst many Chianti estates were adopting a more international style of winemaking in the ‘80s and 90s, Baron Alessandro de Renzis preferred to maintain a more traditional approach, eschewing barriques and aggressive extractions. The Castello retains the region’s last remaining ‘vinsantaia’ (traditional vin santo cellars).
The wines from Sonnino emphasise floral perfume, bright fruits and crunchy acidity.
"...2020 Castello Montespertoli Riserva is the flagship wine of this gorgeous estate centred on a beautiful 16th century mansion and just 20 minutes from Florence. A blend of 80 per cent Sangiovese and 10 per cent each of Merlot and Cab Sauv, each variety is fermented separately before being blended and aged for 18 months in large old oak barrels. Full of ripe cherry fruit and a touch of spice, it’s just hitting its stride and is an absolute delight."
