I tasted a lifetime’s worth of wines from Monsanto and proprietor Laura Bianchi this year, including an unforgettable vertical of the flagship Il Poggio back to 1962 that I will report on shortly. In the meantime, these new releases are compelling. The straight Chianti Classico is wonderfully translucent, while the Riserva is a bit richer, as one might expect. The latest release of Il Poggio, the 2017, offers a bit earlier accessibility than usual, but that is seldom a bad thing these days given the pace of our world.
