Castello di Monsanto is best known for their flagship Chianti Classico Riserva Vigneto Il Poggio. While Il Poggio is terrific in its best years, I must say for the second vintage I am deeply impressed with the straight Riserva, which sells for about half of Il Poggio. The 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Nemo Vigneto Il Mulino is also terrific in 2012, the current vintage. I find the 2011 Il Poggio very good, but not the overachiever it so often is. Still, there is plenty to like in this range from Monsanto and proprietor Laura Bianchi. Also tasted: 2014 Chardonnay Fabrizio Bianchi.
