I tasted a wide range of wines from Monteraponi, a small estate located in Radda, where the Chiantis are usually lighter in body and more finessed in style than in other parts of the Chianti Classico zone. Monteraponi makes a straight Chianti Classico and two Riservas. I am not sure the Riservas are measurably better than the regular Chianti, as my impression is that those wines are spending too long in oak. Nevertheless, this is an interesting estate worth getting to know. The wines are made with indigenous yeasts and mostly aged in cask.
